Is this A-Channel crossroad easy to match with Street View?

Yes. The three-way road shape, utility poles, and surrounding residential walls make it one of the easier A-Channel street locations to verify on Google Street View.

Can I take photos in front of the dental clinic area?

You can photograph the public street, but be careful not to block traffic, entrances, or patients visiting nearby properties. Keep your visit brief and respectful because this is an active residential area.

Run and Tooru stand at a quiet neighborhood three-way intersection on their way through the morning streets in A-Channel episode 1.
This moment appears early in A-Channel episode 1, when the series uses ordinary neighborhood scenery and small character interactions to establish its light, charming school-life mood. Run and Tooru are on their way to school, and the scene feels bright, relaxed, and warmly familiar, showing how close they are. There is no major dramatic conflict here; instead, the everyday street view and their expressions naturally convey the gentle, cheerful, slightly clingy emotional rhythm of their daily life together, setting the tone for the warm friendships that follow. The real-life model is the three-way intersection in front of Ishida Dental Clinic in the Hino area of Tokyo, and the anime reproduces the road layout, fork angle, and residential scale with notable accuracy. Utility poles, walls, and the width of the street closely match the real location, making the spot easy to identify. At the same time, real-world signage, clinic details, and small street fixtures may have changed over the years. Overall, this is the kind of location where the anime keeps the structural composition very faithful while simplifying details and softening colors to preserve A-Channel’s clean, cute visual style.
