Three (3) recent passport-size photographs with light background (5cm x 5 cm) and specification in https://www.indembassy-tokyo.gov.in/downloads/PhotoSpecs.pdf
Please note the photo is needed on the white or light background. You can try at some of the convenient shops. Make sure they provide a photo in the white background.
