Photo Booth Locations Near Kanda Station: ID & Job-Hunting Photos, Easy Access from Multiple Stations

The area around Kanda Station

Photo booths let you take an ID photo quickly and easily, which is a lifesaver when you suddenly need one.
But it's surprisingly hard to find a booth when you're out in the city, isn't it?

This article shows you where to find ID photo booths around Kanda Station, in the heart of one of Tokyo's busiest business districts.

A photo studio that takes same-day bookings

The quality of ID photo booths varies a lot from machine to machine. Older models may have weak lighting that makes your face look dark, and some can't give you your photo as digital data. If you want consistently high-quality photos, we recommend having them taken at a photo studio.
At 19Studio in Shinjuku, you can book on the same day. An optional suit compositing service (your photo is digitally combined with a suit) is also available, which is perfect if you're short on time!
It takes about 20 minutes by train from Kanda Station to 19Studio, so it's also a good choice if you need your photo the same day.
