Starting July 2, 2026, guests of the "1955 Tokyo Bay by Hoshino Resort" can capture unforgettable memories against the backdrop of 1950s America with the new Photomatic photo booth. This collaboration between the innovative self-photo brand Photomatic and Hoshino Resort offers an exciting way to encapsulate your time spent in an environment reminiscent of a golden era.
The Allure of 1950s America
"1955 Tokyo Bay by Hoshino Resort" is designed to conjure the enchanting world of the 1950s, the era when the first Disneyland opened. With its concept of "OLDIES GOODIES," the hotel provides an immersive experience through retro decor that appeals to both young travelers and nostalgic adults. Here, guests can enjoy not only a unique atmosphere but also premium services including public spaces for relaxation and ocean-view dining where freshly prepared meals are available at any hour.
The new Photomatic photo booth aligns perfectly with this throwback ambiance, allowing visitors to enjoy the best of both worlds — fun photo opportunities and a taste of nostalgia.
Unique Photomatic Collaboration Frames
Photomatic's exclusive collab frames, available at the hotel, incorporate designs inspired by the 1950s American aesthetic. Guests can select from four unique frame options that lend a vintage feel to their snapshots. Whether you're visiting the resort with family, friends, or your special someone, these frames add an extra layer of delight to your captured memories. For just 800 yen, you'll receive a physical photo print along with video and still image files for your digital archives.
Photomatic: A New Way to Capture Memories
Founded in 2018 by Hong Seung-hyun, Photomatic emerged from the idea that you can take your own portraits rather than relying on traditional photographers. This self-photo service uses expertly designed lighting and setups to ensure everyone can capture their genuine moments effortlessly. The concept quickly became popular in South Korea, gaining favor among celebrities like BTS for its unique and high-quality photography experience.
Following a successful collaboration with Kitamura Holdings Group, Photomatic expanded into the Japanese market in 2024, offering a distinctive photographic journey to Japanese audiences.
Rental Services for Businesses
In addition to serving individual customers, Photomatic offers rental services for corporate clients. Brands can leverage Photomatic's high-quality capture technology and branding prowess for events like product launches, entertainment, and promotional activities. This service highlights the dual benefits of branding and promotion while creating memorable experiences.
More Than Just a Photo Booth
The introduction of the Photomatic booth at Hoshino Resort emphasizes innovation within the hospitality sector, offering guests a fun way to preserve their memories. The booth is operational 24/7, exclusively for hotel guests, located in the elevator hall on the first floor of the resort. The experience complements Hoshino Resort's commitment to providing enjoyable stays with a slice of Americana.
