Photomatic Launches Unique Self-Photo Booth in Yokohama
On September 26, 2025, a new experience awaits visitors at the historic Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, as Pick Hive Co., Ltd., operated by Kitamura Holdings Group, unveils its self-photo brand, Photomatic. This innovative photo booth will feature eight exclusive frames that encapsulate the charm of Yokohama, allowing guests to capture memorable moments through high-quality photographs.
Nestled in an iconic location that resonates with both historical significance and a refined atmosphere, the Photomatic booth aims to enrich the memories of every visitor. Whether you're reminiscing about a trip to Yokohama or celebrating a special occasion, this will be your go-to spot for unforgettable photography.
Exclusive Yokohama-Themed Frames
At the booth located on the seaward side of the 1st floor of the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, guests can enjoy shooting photos with original frames that highlight the architectural beauty of the warehouse and the picturesque cityscape of Yokohama. Alongside these themed frames, visitors can also choose from regular frames and collaboration frames for their photos (please note that the available designs may vary at different times).
For a fee of 900 yen per session, guests will receive two printed photographs along with both still image and video data, providing a comprehensive keepsake of their experience. Photomatic offers an easy, natural, and high-quality photo-taking experience that promises to leave you with a memorable image.
The Photomatic Experience
The concept of Photomatic originated in 2018 when the founder, Mr. Hong Seung-hyun, a photographer himself, proposed, "What if we could take our own portraits instead of relying on photographers?" This thought sparked the creation of a self-photo service where personalized aesthetics and professionally set environments converge. With just a push of a remote linked to the camera, anyone can capture their best moments effortlessly.
Photomatic quickly gained traction, becoming popular among South Korean celebrities, including numerous artists from BTS and others since its inception. Furthermore, in 2024, Photomatic made its official debut in Japan in collaboration with Kitamura Holdings Group, introducing a fresh and unique photography experience to the Japanese audience.
