Can I take photos in front of Tsukiji Nihonkai Asagaya Store?

You can usually photograph the street from public space, but avoid blocking the storefront entrance or shooting other customers too closely. Be especially careful during meal hours when foot traffic is heavier.

Does the scene still look like the anime today?

The street layout and corner perspective still match well, though shop signs and small business details may differ from the anime frame. Checking Google Street View before visiting helps a lot with angle matching.

Aoba Suzukaze is shown walking along a neighborhood street in Asagaya, capturing the quiet everyday atmosphere of her new working life.
This moment appears when Aoba is still getting used to life as a new working adult, walking alone through the Asagaya area with the mix of excitement and anxiety that comes from joining the company of her dreams. She is inspired by the idea of working at a game studio, but she is also beginning to feel the pressure of commuting, workplace relationships, and her own expectations. Nothing dramatic happens in the frame, yet it naturally captures that subtle everyday mood that feels both ordinary and real, showing her gradual shift from student life into working life. After this, the story continues building her growth and confidence through her work and interactions with her coworkers. In real life, this scene matches the streetscape near Tsukiji Nihonkai Asagaya Store around Asagaya Station, and the anime reproduces the road layout, corner building arrangement, and storefront positioning quite accurately. The signage is simplified and stylized compared with the real location, with the anime focusing more on the overall impression of the street than on recreating every commercial sign exactly. The actual signs, colors, and neighboring businesses may have changed over the years, but the scale of the street, the angle at the corner, and the mixed residential-commercial atmosphere remain very close to what appears in the anime. For anime pilgrims, standing at a similar angle makes it easy to appreciate how carefully the series portrayed this everyday urban setting.
