What is the best station for recreating this Morfonication riverside scene?

Izumi-Tamagawa Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line is the closest and most practical access point. From there, it is only a short walk to the Tama River embankment area used for scene matching.

Can I use Google Street View to compare the anime shot before visiting?

Street View coverage is more useful on nearby approach roads than directly on the open riverbank, but it still helps confirm embankment access and surrounding landmarks. For the final match, fans usually compare the slope, railing, and skyline on site.

Are there any rules or cautions for photography at Izumi-Tamagawa riverside?

The riverside is generally open for casual photography, but it is a public floodplain, so avoid blocking paths, sports users, or cyclists. Conditions can change after rain or river management work, so check weather and local river safety notices before visiting.

All five Morfonica members stand together on the riverside embankment, facing the open scenery under a wide sky.
This moment appears when the Morfonica members come together at the Tama River riverside, standing side by side in front of the wide open riverbank under a calm and gentle atmosphere. After working through their thoughts and emotional tensions, they step away for a moment from practice and worry, looking out toward the broad sky and water while quietly reaffirming the direction they want to take as a band. There is no major dramatic conflict here; instead, the scene functions as a pause where emotions can settle, highlighting the growing trust between the members and their delicate yet determined hope for the future. The real-life counterpart is the Izumi-Tamagawa riverside area, and the anime captures the location quite accurately through its open grassy riverbank, embankment path, and distant skyline composition. The spacing of the characters and the sense of depth toward the river are especially close to what visitors can see on site. Because this is not a landmark defined by bold tourist signage, unlike a station or shop location, the main points of comparison are the riverbank terrain, slope of the embankment, railing placement, and the scenery across the river. In reality, the grass condition, barrier updates, ground maintenance, and seasonal lighting may differ slightly from the anime, but on a clear late afternoon the atmosphere comes very close to the quiet, transparent, and slightly lyrical feeling shown in the episode.
