Taking Your ID Photo in Tokyo? We Recommend 19Studio!

The quality of ID photo booths varies a lot from model to model. Older machines may have weak lighting that leaves your face looking dark, and some cannot provide your photo as digital data. If you want consistently high-quality ID photos, we recommend having them taken at a photo studio.
19Studio in Shinjuku accepts same-day bookings, so it is a good choice if you need your photos in a hurry. You can also add a suit composite option, so you can have your photo taken even if you don't have a suit with you!

Summary

We have introduced where to find ID photo booths from Kumamoto Station to the city center and the Shinshigai area.
Since some booths are at bus terminals and near stations, you can easily take your photo on the way to somewhere else.

Maiko: Camera lover who changed careers from another industryI love cameras and changed careers from a different industry.
