Yes. The area is publicly accessible on normal local streets, and fans usually reach it on foot from Musashi-Sunagawa Station.

Can I take comparison photos at this A-Channel spot?

Yes, street photography is generally possible from public space, but avoid blocking traffic, pointing cameras into private homes, or lingering in front of shops.

Has the World Market area changed much since the anime aired?

The road layout still matches well, but storefronts, signs, parked cars, and small roadside details have changed over time, so checking recent Street View helps before visiting.

Run and Tooru pass through a quiet neighborhood street near the World Market area in an everyday establishing shot from A-Channel episode 1.
This moment appears early in the series as part of A-Channel’s relaxed everyday rhythm. Run and Tooru walk along a neighborhood street lined with homes and shops on their way to school, creating a natural, playful atmosphere that highlights their close and familiar relationship. There is no major dramatic conflict in this shot; instead, the ordinary street scenery is used to emphasize the girls’ daily lives and to let viewers feel the warm, easygoing, slightly lively mood before the story moves into the next school segment. Compared with the real location, the anime captures the street layout very well, especially the road direction, building placement, and openness at the corner, making the spot fairly recognizable. The anime uses brighter, softer colors and simplifies some storefront signs and details, but the overall spatial feeling and silhouette of the streetscape remain faithful to reality. The biggest differences in real life are usually changes over time such as replaced businesses, updated signage, plants, parked vehicles, and roadside fixtures, so comparing the site with Google Street View or on-location photos makes it clear that the anime preserved the core geography while gently beautifying the scene.
