Photomatic Launches at JR Yurakucho Station
In a buzzworthy move, Photomatic has made its debut at the JR Yurakucho Station, marking the brand's first setup in a train station. Operated by Pichive Inc., a subsidiary of Kitamura Holdings Group, this self-photo booth seeks to provide high-quality photography experiences right in the heart of Tokyo, making it incredibly accessible to commuters and visitors alike.
Many will recognize Photomatic for its emphasis on self-portraiture, allowing individuals to capture moments without the assistance of professional photographers. This innovative concept began in 2018, sparked by a suggestion from the founder, Hong Seunghyun, prompting a shift in how people approach personal photography. With expertly set-up lighting and ambiance tailored to enhance every shot, users can easily operate the booth with the simple click of a remote.
Exclusive Original Frames
To celebrate its opening at Yurakucho Station, Photomatic is offering three unique original frames exclusive to this location. Additionally, users can expect a rotation of seasonal frames designed to keep the experience fresh and engaging. The specific details include:
- - Frame types: 3 unique designs
- - Cost: ¥800 per session (which includes two prints plus digital data)
- - Payment methods: Credit cards and barcode payment options are accepted; cash payments are not allowed.
This initiative aims to make high-quality photography accessible and enjoyable, even as you commute. The Photomatic booth operates daily, from the first train to the last at the JR Yurakucho Station, conveniently located near the Kyobashi entrance.
