Can I photograph the exterior of new-ad-building-02 for a NEW GAME! pilgrimage?

Yes, exterior street-side photography is generally fine if you stay on public sidewalks and avoid blocking entrances. Do not enter private office areas or photograph security features too closely.

Is this location easy to match with the anime frame using Google Street View?

Yes, the building massing and street alignment are recognizable enough for a Street View comparison, though some signs and small roadside details may differ from the anime version.

Are there useful facilities nearby if I visit this NEW GAME! spot?

Yes, the surrounding Mitaka area has convenience stores, cafes, and station facilities within walking distance. It is practical to combine this stop with a short local walking route rather than visiting it as a standalone destination.

Aoba Suzukaze stands outside the office building on her first day, taking in the moment before entering her new workplace.
This moment appears at the beginning of Aoba Suzukaze’s first day heading to her new job. Standing outside the office building, she is filled with excitement at finally entering the game company she admired, while also feeling the nervousness and uncertainty of a newcomer on her first day. The scene captures her pausing briefly at the threshold of a new stage in life; right after this, she enters the company, meets the colleagues who will shape her daily life, and begins her busy career as a rookie character designer. In real life, the exterior of the building matches the anime quite closely, especially the overall structure, the pedestrian space in front of the entrance, and the street-corner composition. The anime simplifies some background details, and signage or small text is generally not reproduced exactly, giving the shot a cleaner look suited to its fictional company setting. On location, surrounding streetscape elements, plants, and roadside fixtures may have changed over time or through renovations, but the overall outline remains easy to recognize, making this a highly satisfying pilgrimage spot for comparing the anime with the real site and Street View.
