Does Satoru.Japan, modeling agency, charge big money to make portfolios or are they on the up & up for hiring?
Some "modeling agencies" are in the business of charging big money for creating portfolios but promises to find work for models are not real. Their business is really only making money on portfolios- a kind of scam.

The only way to know is to go. If they ask you for money for a portfolio, then walk out. A legitimate agency shouldn't be producing your portfolio or requiring you to use one specific photographer. They also don't do a portfolio until AFTER you have signed a contract. A legitimate agency should give you a list of recommended photographers and you are free to use the one of your choice
