Tokyo

Episode
Ep. 12
Time
8m 1s
shinjuku building
  • Nearest Station: Tochomae Station (Toei Oedo Line)
  • Walk: 6 minutes on foot
  • Best time to visit: Late afternoon to early evening on a clear weekday for a similar office-district atmosphere
  • Crowd level: Moderate
  • Aoba and Kou are shown on a Shinjuku street at dusk, framed against a real-world office building frontage recreated in NEW GAME! episode 12.
  • This moment appears near the end of the story, after the characters have gone through the intensity and pressure of game development and their emotions begin to settle into relief. The conversation carries the feeling of quiet reflection after finishing a major stretch of work, while also showing the care and support a senior gives to a junior. For Aoba, this is more than just a moment on the way home from work; it marks part of her gradual growth in the workplace and her growing confidence in her goals. The warm, natural comfort between the characters adds a gentle afterglow to the episode. In real life, this scene matches the sidewalk and street view in front of the Japan Finance Corporation Shinjuku Building area in Shinjuku. The anime recreates the road alignment, building massing, street trees, and corner perspective with strong accuracy. While some signage, traffic markings, and facade details are simplified for a cleaner composition, the overall spatial impression is immediately recognizable. The real location feels more like a lived-in office district, with signs, pavement markings, parked vehicles, and nearby businesses changing over time, but a comparison with Google Street View or an on-site visit still clearly shows how faithfully the background was referenced.
Is this NEW GAME! spot easy to photograph without entering private property?
Yes. The matching view is from the public sidewalk in front of the building, so you can recreate the angle without going inside office property.
Has the streetscape around shinjuku-building changed since the anime aired?
Minor details like signs, parked vehicles, and roadside fixtures can change, but the building scale, road layout, and general perspective still match well for comparison.
What is the best way to verify the exact anime angle before visiting?
Use Google Street View around the coordinates before your trip and compare the tree line, curb shape, and building frontage to the anime frame for alignment.
