Is this NEW GAME! spot easy to reach from Asagaya Station?

Yes. The area around Tonkotsu Bancho Asagaya is within walking distance from JR Asagaya Station, and the streets are straightforward for a short anime pilgrimage stop.

Can I take photos here without problems?

Street photography is generally possible from public roads, but avoid blocking storefronts, entrances, or pedestrians, especially during evening restaurant hours.

Does the area still look close to the anime scene today?

The street layout and overall building lines remain recognizable, but some shop signs and tenant details have changed over time, so checking recent Street View is recommended before visiting.

Aoba and her coworkers walk together along a nighttime street lined with shops in Asagaya.
This moment appears as the characters finish work and head out for a meal or small gathering, walking together through the evening streets while carrying over the light, slightly nervous energy of Aoba’s early days at the company. As she becomes more comfortable with the rhythm of office life, she starts to fit in more naturally with her seniors, and the mood shifts from focused work to relaxed anticipation after hours. The shot is more than a simple transition, because it also shows the warmth of her growing bond with her coworkers. In real life, the street scene is clearly based on the road layout around the Tonkotsu Bancho Asagaya area, with the road width, corner composition, building arrangement, and density of signs matching the location quite closely. The anime softens the colors and lighting to create a cleaner, warmer everyday atmosphere, while the real street feels more lived-in because of store turnover, updated signage, parked bicycles, and ordinary pedestrian traffic. Compared with the actual site and Street View references, the recreation is highly accurate, though some storefront names and small details were simplified to avoid being overly literal.
