Can I freely visit the area around Manten to recreate the MyGO scene?

Yes, the Sunshine City public circulation areas are generally accessible during mall hours, but the planetarium itself requires a ticket for entry. For scene recreation, stick to public walkways and avoid blocking other visitors.

Is photography allowed at Konica Minolta Planetarium Manten?

Photos are usually fine in public exterior areas of Sunshine City, but photography and recording inside the dome screening space are typically prohibited. Always follow posted rules and staff instructions on the day of your visit.

What should I combine with this stop for a BanG Dream pilgrimage in Ikebukuro?

This spot pairs well with other MyGO and BanG Dream locations around Sunshine City and the east side of Ikebukuro. It is especially convenient to combine with nearby streets, shopping areas, and station-area scene checks in one walking route.

Anon and Tomori move through the street near the planetarium in a subdued moment filled with hesitation and fragile emotional distance.
This moment appears during the early stage of Anon and Tomori’s relationship, when they still cannot honestly express what they feel. Tomori tends to keep her emotions shut inside, while Anon acts proactive on the surface but is also uneasy about whether she can truly understand her. As they walk together around Ikebukuro, the atmosphere is slightly awkward and tentative, as if they are carefully testing whether they can move one step closer to each other. The scene captures the emotional distance before trust has fully formed, gently setting up the bittersweet bond that will later grow among the band members. In real life, this spot corresponds to the area around Konica Minolta Planetarium Manten on the rooftop of the World Import Mart Building in Sunshine City, Ikebukuro. The anime accurately captures the outer walkway and the surrounding urban-commercial mood, making the location easy to recognize for anyone familiar with the area. However, to emphasize the characters’ emotions, the anime simplifies signage, advertisements, and crowd density, so the frame feels cleaner and more focused than reality. In person, the signage is richer, with mall directions, event boards, and brand displays standing out more clearly. The surrounding greenery, railings, and building massing are still reproduced with strong accuracy, though seasonal decorations, special events, and lighting can create noticeable differences from the anime version.
