ID photo booths near Akihabara Station （秋葉原駅）

📍 Find the ID photo booth nearest you

There are 12 ID photo booth locations within 500 m in a straight line of the centre of any platform at Akihabara Station, according to the operators’ official location lists (checked 2026-09-25). Counts are locations, not machines.

Distances are straight-line distances from the platform centre to the booth’s coordinates, not walking routes; big stations have many exits, so the actual walk is longer. The list runs from nearest to farthest and is not a recommendation.

This station is in Chiyoda. For the rest of Tokyo, see ID photo booths in Tokyo.

Prices vary by machine and location, and the price on the machine’s screen is final. What each operator publishes on its own website is collected on ID photo booth prices in Japan.

Brands and features

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.

Three more columns follow the operators’ own labels: “QR payment” appears only on the DNP (Ki-Re-i, ID-Spot) and ID VOX lists, “Transit IC cards” only on the Ki-Re-i list, and “Background colour choice” only on the ID VOX list. The Photo-Me list has no payment field, and DNP labels its background-changing feature separately as Excellent Mode, so a missing field does not mean a machine lacks the feature. Which documents accept a coloured background is covered in background colours for ID photos.

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).
• How stations are chosen: we go through stations in Tokyo’s 23 wards and Osaka City in order of fiscal 2023 passenger numbers, and give a page only to stations with at least 10 booth locations within 500 m of a platform. If half or more of a station’s locations already appear on the page of a station with more passengers, it does not get its own page. Up to 30 stations for now.
• 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.
• This is an independent, neutral directory with no affiliation to the operators listed. It does not rank or recommend any of them.
