ID photo booths in Japan

This directory lists 22,369 ID photo booth locations across Japan — the self-service passport photo booths known locally as 証明写真機 — drawn from the official lists that three operators publish for their four brands (checked 2026-09-25). Each entry comes with its address, supported features and a map link. The unit is a location, not a machine count.

Prices vary by machine and location; check the price shown on the machine’s screen.

Your browser only asks for your location after you tap the button. The coordinates are used on your own device to work out distances; they are never sent to this site and never recorded.

Three operators, four brands

Operators and brands are listed alphabetically; the order is not a ranking.

OperatorBrandsOfficial figureOur count (locations)
DNP Photo Imaging Japan (Dai Nippon Printing group) ID-Spot, Ki-Re-i 9,400 units announced in 2022 (planned figure) 7,964
Fuso Precision ID VOX — (our count is the official location list itself) 1,320
ME Group Japan Photo-Me “About 14,000 locations nationwide” (company statement) (press release) 13,085
Total22,369

Official figures and our counts use different units (locations, machines, planned units) and different dates. They sit side by side for reference only; subtracting one from the other says nothing reliable about growth or decline.

Feature counts follow each operator’s own labels. “My Number” means you can apply for a My Number card directly at the machine; “Digital copy” means you can receive the photo data (ME Group’s cloud service, DNP’s “With Smartphone” service, or the ID VOX app); “Skin smoothing” reflects ME’s beauty mode and DNP’s skin-correction label (the built-in beauty mode on Ki-Re-i machines may not carry this label). Definitions differ by operator, so the numbers are not comparable across operators.

448 of the Ki-Re-i locations have the older carina model.

If you need to upload a photo for an online application — renewing a Japanese passport online, for example — look for “Digital copy”. To apply for a My Number card, look for “My Number”: you can submit the application at the machine right after the shoot. Every prefecture page lets you filter by both.

Sources and limitations

  • Sources: the official location search pages and lists of ME Group Japan, DNP Photo Imaging Japan and Fuso Precision (checked 2026-09-25).
  • Official brand pages: ID-Spot / Ki-Re-i, ID VOX, Photo-Me
  • An official list only shows that an operator says a booth is there — not that it is still working today. Check with the host store or station before you make a special trip.
  • Smaller operators such as 三吉工業 (プロ写真館), 北菱プリントテクノロジー and 東京富士カラー do not publish location lists, so their booths are not included. A place missing from this list may still have an ID photo booth.
  • Map positions for Photo-Me, Ki-Re-i and ID-Spot are the operators’ own coordinates. The ID VOX list has no coordinates, so those 1,320 addresses were geocoded with the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan’s address search; positions may be slightly off.
  • Prices vary by machine and location; check the price shown on the machine’s screen.
  • This is an independent, neutral directory with no affiliation to the operators listed. It does not rank or recommend any of them.
