A simple handoff, from start to finish
Three steps.
One little stop.
You don't have to make photography the main event. A short break in your day is enough for a real portrait, a family photo, or the group shot no one could take.

Get in touch →A few practical questions
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Do I have to book in advance?
No. When a photographer is on shift nearby, you can call one on the spot. You can also book a date and time in advance.
What if no one is available right now?
During the pilot our team is small, so photographers aren't on shift all day. The app shows who's available — if no one can come now, book a time that suits you instead.
How long is the shoot?
15 minutes. The time it takes your photographer to reach you isn't included.
Is it really free?
Yes — during our pilot season in Asakusa. In return, we ask you to answer a short survey (about 2 minutes) before you download your full-size photos.
When will I receive the photographs?
Previews of every shot appear on your phone right after the shoot. Then pick your favorites, answer the short survey, and download the full-size photos (plus lightly AI-adjusted versions) within 7 days.
Do I need to install an app?
No. PicStand works in your phone's web browser — there's nothing to install.
Where can I use PicStand?
Around Kaminarimon and Senso-ji in Asakusa, Tokyo. Ueno Park and the Tokyo Station / Marunouchi area are next.
