XL PHOTO STUDIO, a Daikanyama studio offering what it describes as Japan's only* mega photo experience, welcomed a cumulative total of more than 1,000 visitors between September 1 and September 30, 2026. A new store is planned to open in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, in mid-December 2026.
Visitors kept coming even during a stretch of rainy weather, with precipitation reportedly recorded in central Tokyo for 35 consecutive days. The mega photo experience that began in Daikanyama will be brought to more people.
*As of October 1, 2026, based on a survey of publicly available web information by Ninevation. The survey covers permanent stores in Japan that print a four-frame photo on a single sheet measuring at least 59.5 cm tall by 21 cm wide and provide it in store on the day of the shoot.
More Than 1,000 Visitors in About a Month, Despite Rainy Weather
XL PHOTO STUDIO is a photo studio that turns four-frame photos into one large print that visitors can take home on the spot.
In the month from September 1 to September 30, 2026, more than 1,000 visitors came in total.
Because the mega photo experience can be enjoyed indoors, it also suits a day out in the rain. Friends, couples, and families can enjoy coming up with poses together and comparing the finished photos.
Visitor numbers are based on the operator's own tally for September 1 to September 30, 2026. Central Tokyo was reported to have recorded precipitation for 35 consecutive days through September 30, 2026 (ウェザーニュース).
Turning Everyday Four-Frame Photos Into a Big Memory
A mega photo is a photo service that prints four frames, shot with different expressions and poses, at a large size.
Besides holding the print in your hands, you can display it in your room and enjoy the memory of the day as part of everyday life.
At XL PHOTO STUDIO, a self-developed app is used, and visitors can choose a monochrome or color finish to suit their taste. Photos are printed on the spot and can be taken home.
Whether for an anniversary or an ordinary day out, it offers a way to keep a large print that feels a little different from the usual photos.
New Store Planned in Shibuya Dogenzaka in Mid-December 2026
XL PHOTO STUDIO plans to open a new store in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, in mid-December 2026.

Details of the new store, including its address, opening date, and hours, will be announced in due course on the official Instagram and elsewhere.
