[Okinawa] Visiting girls mignon: A Store Tour of Japanese Purikura Giant Furyu Inc.

Summary

Joe visits a photo booth store in Okinawa, documenting the standalone girls mignon shop on Naha’s Kokusai-dori operated by leading Japanese purikura company Furyu Inc. Located on the third floor of a shopping street building and accessible by stairs, the small store has four distinctive machines, each offering different effects, themes, and background styles. The article documents the storefront, an L-shaped makeup area with four round stools, the coin-changing machine and counter, the studio inside the booths—including a phone holder and a powerful flash—and the actual photo results. An August 2026 update notes that the store has disappeared from FURYU’s official store list and is believed to have closed. FURYU machines in the same shopping district are now located at GiGO Naha Kokusai-dori.

Key facts

Furyu Inc. is Japan’s leading purikura company, with a 90% share of the Japanese market.
The closure of girls mignon Naha Kokusai-dori was confirmed in August 2026; the machines have now moved to GiGO in the same shopping district.
The store was on the third floor and had four photo booths with different effects and themes.

On this trip to Okinawa, I stopped by to see a Japanese photo booth giant’s store and try its machines.

The largest operation I could find that was still in business at the time was Furyu’s girls mignon.

Japan’s photo booth stores have been changing rapidly in recent years. Before setting off, I recommend checking the Japan Photo Booth (Purikura) Guide for machine locations and how things work on-site.

(Update: August 2026) The girls mignon Naha Kokusai-dori store visited in this article is no longer on FURYU’s official store list and appears to have closed. FURYU machines in the same shopping district are now at “GiGO那覇国際通り” (GiGO Naha Kokusai-dori).
A list of girls mignon stores that are still operating is available on the photo booth information site’s girls mignon brand page.

I never expected this store to be on the third floor. After my trip researching Korean photo booth stores, I had assumed that a ground-floor location was essential in this business—and that only Snapshot 妞拍貼 took such unconventional routes. LOL.

When I visited, I followed Google Maps and ended up in the alley next door.
The store was on the third floor, so you had to climb the stairs. There was no restroom inside, and it had four machines.

In-Store Information and Promotions

At Japanese photo booth stores, every machine has different effects and themes.
The moment you walk in, it can be hard to choose. LOL.
Korean photo booth stores, on the other hand, all look quite similar.

The counter was unstaffed during off-peak hours. I only saw a staff member appear around five or six o’clock.

Makeup Area

This area was L-shaped, with four round stools.

What the Studio Inside the Booth Looks Like

You can put your phone here to record yourself. This holder strikes me as a clever idea.

There is a large flash unit overhead.
