Convenient Access and Operating Hours
The booth, situated within the vibrant Keyaki Hiroba plaza, opens daily from 7 AM to midnight, ensuring accessibility for everyone attending various events and concerts in the arena.
The Philosophy Behind Photomatic
Photomatic emerged from a simple yet innovative idea proposed by its founder, Hong Seung-hyun, a photographer, in 2018. He envisioned a service where individuals could take self-portraits instead of relying on professional photographers. Every photo booth is equipped with professionally set lighting and a remote control, allowing patrons to capture their best moments effortlessly. This unique approach has garnered significant popularity among fans, including notable artists from South Korea like BTS.
In 2024, Photomatic began collaborating with the Kitamura Holdings Group, marking its official entry into the Japanese market to offer new photographic experiences.
