This guide lists where to find ID photo booths in and around Shinagawa Station.

A studio that takes same-day bookings

Quality varies a lot between ID photo booths. Older models may have weak lighting that leaves your face in shadow, and some can't give you your photo as a digital file. If you want consistently high-quality photos, a photo studio is the better choice.
19Studio in Shinjuku accepts same-day bookings. It also offers an optional digital suit overlay, which makes it a great fit if you're short on time!
