This one is on the road that runs straight from the station to the “Kashiwa-eki Nishiguchi” (Kashiwa Station West Exit) intersection. There is another FamilyMart across the street, but only this one has a photo booth. It is set up outside the store, so it's easy to spot!

Need an ID photo in Tokyo? We recommend 19Studio!

Photo booths vary a lot in quality. Older models may have weak lighting that makes your face look dark, or may not let you receive your photo as digital data. If you want consistently high-quality ID photos, we recommend having them taken at a studio.
19Studio in Shinjuku accepts same-day bookings, so it's a good choice if you need your photos in a hurry. You can also add digital suit retouching as an option, so you can have your photo taken without bringing a suit!

Summary

Kashiwa Station is served by both the JR and Tobu lines, and it has several photo booths inside the station. There are also several just outside the ticket gates. The East Exit, with its many shopping buildings, is especially convenient: you can take ID photos inside Marui, where the Passport Center is located, and inside Sky Plaza.

On the West Exit side, there is a booth at a convenience store right by the station, so you can take your photo right away.

Because I used to be the one in front of the camera, I know how nervous people feel. In my articles I share how much a photo can change with a little difference in lighting or the angle of your face.
