Photo Books Japan | Custom Photo Album Printing – Tinyko

Custom Photo Books & Photo Albums, Printed and Delivered in Japan

Most of us have thousands of photos sitting in a phone we never look at. Tinyko exists to get a handful of the good ones off the screen and into something you'll actually pick up again — a printed photo book you can hand to your parents, leave on a shelf, or give as a gift.

We're a photo album printing service based in Japan, and everything on this page ships nationwide. You pick a size and cover style, upload your photos, arrange them (or let one of our templates do it for you), and we print and deliver — usually within 5 to 11 days. Prices start at ¥1,380 for a 6x6 hardcover book.

Looking for something more premium? Our layflat, imagewrap, and leather-bound albums are built for milestone events — weddings, baby showers, anniversaries — and for photographers who want a portfolio-quality book to hand to clients.

What You Actually Get

  • Printed on Luster Silk paper — the same professional finish used by most photo labs for accurate color reproduction, rather than a standard matte paper.
  • 20-page standard photo books (10 sheets), with larger sizes (6×8, 8×8, 8×11, and 12×12) supporting up to 100 pages for bigger collections.
  • 20+ layout themes to help you get started, or design every spread yourself for complete creative control.
  • Free digital copy included with every completed photo book, making it easy to share even if you only order one printed copy.
  • Nationwide delivery across Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, and smaller cities.

Who This Is For

  • New parents — document the first year without losing the photos to a camera roll. Our Baby Books collection includes templates designed specifically for milestones such as first steps, first birthdays, and the journey from hospital to home.
  • Couples & wedding planners — create a layflat photo album Japan couples will proudly display, not a stiff book that only opens halfway. Explore our Wedding Books, starting from ¥2,100.
  • Schools & universities — order bulk photo book printing for yearbooks, with matte or gloss finishes and layflat binding options. For large orders, request a quote instead of using the standard checkout.
  • Gift buyers — perfect for anniversaries, retirements, reunions, and other meaningful occasions. A printed photo book makes a more memorable gift than a card, and you can have it ready in under a week.
  • Professional & creative users — photographers and designers trust our Personalized Leather Books and layflat album collection for premium client deliverables.
