A studio that takes same-day bookings

Photo booths vary a lot by model. Older machines may have weak lighting that makes your face look dark, and some cannot give you the photo as a digital file. If you want consistently high-quality ID photos, we recommend a photo studio.
At 19Studio in Shinjuku, same-day bookings are available. You can also add a digital suit composite as an option, which is perfect if you are busy!
We highly recommend it when you come to Tokyo for job hunting.
