Warwickshire Police said two officers were travelling to Tokyo to assist the family of Lindsay Hawker, who are expected to make an appeal for information about the 22-year-old's death.
A force spokesman stressed that the officers, thought to be family liaison specialists, were not being sent to assist directly in the investigation.
"They are going out there to help the family liaise with the Japanese investigation team," the spokesman said.
Miss Hawker's parents, Bill and Julia, and one of her sisters are expected to make a televised appeal for information in Japan within the next few days.
Japanese police are still hunting for Tatsuya Ichihashi, 28, who was seen with Miss Hawker shortly before her body was found in a Tokyo apartment in March.
The teacher, of Brandon, Warwickshire, had been strangled.
Her parents set up a website in May which features CCTV images of Ichihashi, the only suspect in the case.
Miss Hawker, a graduate of Leeds University, had travelled to Japan to teach English as a foreign language.
