Photomatic Self Photo Booth at Hirakata Park
From August 7, a self-photo booth called
Photomatic has made its debut at
Hirakata Park, located in Hirakata City, Osaka. This marks the second permanent location for the innovative photo experience from
Pichive Inc., a subsidiary of
Kitamura Holdings, led by President and COO Yoshinori Osako. Photomatic offers visitors the chance to capture their memories in a high-quality, natural way, whether they’re with friends, family, or solo. The setup at Hirakata Park includes a variety of thoughtfully designed lighting and space to ensure participants can enjoy an optimal photo session.
Visitors can also take advantage of a special collaboration with the outdoor pool experience called
The Boon. This seasonal collaboration allows for themed frames, bringing an added layer of fun to the photo experience during visits from August 7 to August 31, 2025. Each session is priced at 800 yen and includes two printed photos along with digital copies of both stills and videos.
The Photomatic Experience
Photomatic’s unique concept was born in 2018 when founder Seung-Hyun Hong, a photographer himself, envisioned a service where individuals can take their own portraits rather than rely on a traditional photographer. This approach allows people to create their own memories exactly as they want them to be, fostering personalized and memorable experiences.
With expertly set lighting and an aesthetically pleasing environment, users simply need to press a remote connected to the camera to capture their best moments. This blend of innovative technology and creativity has resulted in Photomatic becoming a favorite among many artists and celebrities in Korea, including popular K-pop groups like
BTS.
The initiative has since expanded to Japan, with each new location delivering the same exceptional experience to Japanese audiences, ensuring that
Photomatic continues to resonate with those seeking a fresh and enjoyable way to document their memories.
Rental Services for Businesses
In addition to individual experiences, Photomatic also offers rental services for corporate clients. Businesses can leverage the high-quality photographic offerings of Photomatic for branding and promotional events. The company has successfully collaborated on a range of projects, from IP content events to cosmetic and apparel launches, live entertainment, and promotional activities in commercial settings. This versatility illustrates Photomatic’s capability to contribute significantly to customer engagements through high-quality photo experiences.
