Is the exact MyGO street view near oak-higashi-ikebukuro-building easy to access?

Yes, the location is on a public street in Higashi-Ikebukuro and can be viewed freely from the sidewalk. Please avoid blocking entrances to the building or nearby businesses when taking photos.

What is the best station for recreating this Episode 4 scene?

Mukohara Station on the Tokyo Sakura Tram is the closest simple access point, though Higashi-Ikebukuro Station is also convenient if you are already using the Tokyo Metro. Both let you reach the area with a short walk.

Can I use Google Street View to match the camera angle before visiting?

Yes, Street View is very useful here because the street layout, building positions, and corner geometry are still easy to compare. Some signage and storefront details may differ from the anime, so focus on the road shape and building outlines.

Anon and Tomori stand along a quiet Higashi-Ikebukuro street, capturing the hesitant emotional distance between them in Episode 4.
This moment comes at a stage when the characters’ relationship is still awkward and uncertain, with Tomori and Anon both trying to figure out how to get closer to each other. The surrounding story centers on forming a band and navigating emotional distance: Anon appears more proactive and tries to lighten the mood, yet she is also uneasy about whether she truly belongs, while Tomori remains characteristically clumsy and sensitive, carrying many feelings she struggles to express. The mood here is not one of open conflict, but rather of two equally lonely people sharing a brief moment on a city street corner, creating a faint sense of mutual understanding that mixes discomfort with a small hope of connection. In real life, the anime recreates this part of Higashi-Ikebukuro with impressive accuracy, especially in the building massing, road width, street alignment, and corner perspective around oak-higashi-ikebukuro-building. While signs and storefront details appear simplified or altered in the anime, likely to avoid directly reproducing real commercial branding, the overall urban atmosphere remains highly recognizable. Comparing the scene with Google Street View or on-site photos, fans will notice differences in text, shop names, and some facade colors, but the arrangement of buildings, road edges, utility poles, and the sense of depth in the street are close enough to clearly identify the real-life model.
