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

The quality of ID photo booths varies a lot by model. Older machines may have weak lighting that leaves your face looking dark, and some can't give you the photo as digital data. If you want consistently high-quality ID photos, we recommend having them taken at a photo studio.
19Studio in Shinjuku also accepts same-day reservations, so it's a good choice if you need a photo in a hurry. For an extra fee, you can also add a suit digitally to your photo, so you can be photographed without bringing a suit of your own!

Summary

We've covered where to find ID photo booths around Hankyu Osaka-Umeda Station and nearby JR Osaka Station.

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.
