Every document in Japan seems to require a different photo size — passport, My Number Card, resume, visa, professional exams. Here's a complete reference so you don't have to guess.
For the documents people ask about most:
Print size vs. data size
Print applications use the millimeter size; online and Web submissions use the pixel size. They are set by different authorities and don't always convert at the same resolution — use the column that matches how you'll submit.
