Is this Railgun S spot easy to reach by public transport?

Yes. The area is most conveniently reached from Chuo-Daigaku Meisei-Daigaku Station on the Tama Monorail, followed by a short uphill walk toward the university-front road.

Can I take photos freely in front of Chuo University?

Street photography from public roads is generally fine, but avoid entering campus areas not open to visitors and do not block traffic, students, or buses while recreating the shot.

Does the scene still match well enough for a Street View comparison?

Yes, the road shape and slope still make it recognizable, though signage, lane markings, and surrounding vegetation have changed over time, so a Street View check helps a lot before visiting.

Mikoto Misaka and Touma Kamijou share a quiet moment on the street outside Chuo University in Episode 24 of A Certain Scientific Railgun S.
This moment comes after the major conflict has begun to settle, giving Mikoto Misaka and Touma Kamijou a rare chance to face each other in a brief calm. Mikoto has been carrying immense pressure, guilt, and loneliness, while Touma has continued to support her in his own way. At this point, their interaction is no longer just tense clashing and stubborn posturing, but instead conveys relief, tenderness, and emotions that are hard to put into words. In the story, the scene works as an afterglow following the climax, leaving a stronger impression through the characters’ relationship than through the battle itself and giving the arc a warm, slightly bittersweet sense of closure. In real life, the scene corresponds to the area in front of Chuo University, where the overall road alignment, street width, and sloping atmosphere are reproduced quite clearly, making the real-world model easy to recognize. The anime closely matches the road layout and open distant view, though it simplifies utility poles, traffic fixtures, and building details so the background feels cleaner and more focused on the characters. Signage and university-related markers may have changed over the years, so visitors will likely see more modern information boards and road markings than in the anime, and nearby trees and greenery can also differ depending on the season and the year. Overall, it is a highly accurate pilgrimage spot that has been artistically refined to create a more dramatic mood.
