What ID photo booths cost in Japan (as the operators publish it)
There is no nationwide price for ID photo booths in Japan: even within one brand, the amount changes with the finish, the add-ons and the location. This page lists only amounts the operators state on their own websites, each with the original Japanese wording and the URL (checked 2026-10-13). Where an operator publishes nothing, we say so rather than filling the gap from press reports or reviews.
Prices vary by machine and location; check the price shown on the machine’s screen.

Why the same brand can cost different amounts
Both operators that publish an amount put the conditions in the same sentence:
- ID VOX: 「仕上がりや証明写真機の設置場所によって異なりますが」 — it depends on the finish and on where the machine is. (ID VOX official site)
- Ki-Re-i: 「肌補正の有無やプリントの有無によって価格が変動しますが」 — it changes with skin correction and with whether you print. (DNP official site)
⇒ Prices can differ by location and machine; the amount on the machine’s screen is final. The figures here are the operators’ own guide ranges.
What the operators do not publish
- ID-Spot (DNP) and Photo-Me (ME Group Japan): no shooting price on their official sites. (ID-Spot official page, Photo-Me official page)
- The shooting fee when you apply for a My Number Card at the machine: none of the three operators states an amount (ID VOX only says you pay and then tap "apply").
- ID VOX digital copies: the app is described as free, but the site does not say whether receiving the photo data costs extra.
Paying: locations flagged for QR-code payment
- ID-Spot: 871 of 1,108 locations
- Ki-Re-i: 5,140 of 6,856 locations
- ID VOX: 1,307 of 1,320 locations
Our tally of the “QR決済” (QR-code payment) flag in each operator’s published location list; the unit is locations, not machines. Photo-Me’s official list has no payment field, so it is not shown.

This page records what each operator publishes. We reproduce it; we are not the rule. Photo specifications are set by each issuing authority and do change.

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.
