Is Home Bakery Mikawaya still accessible as an anime pilgrimage stop?

Yes, the area around the storefront is publicly accessible from the street. As with most neighborhood locations, fans should keep visits brief and avoid blocking the entrance or photographing people without permission.

Can I take photos of the exact storefront from the anime angle?

You can usually photograph the exterior from the public road, but be considerate because it is part of an active neighborhood streetscape. If you want close shots of the shopfront itself, avoid busy business hours and do not interfere with customers.

What is the best route for pairing this spot with other And Yet the Town Moves locations?

Most fans start from JR Omori Station and walk through the Sanno area, where several neighborhood-style backgrounds can be compared in sequence. Using Google Street View beforehand helps you match the road alignment and storefront spacing more efficiently.

A quiet neighborhood storefront on the shopping street serves as the backdrop for Take's slightly flustered search for ice cream for Ebichan.
This moment matches one of the series’ everyday comic beats, with Take looking around the shopping street for a shop or ice cream for Eriko, nicknamed Ebichan. The mood carries Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru’s trademark relaxed, slightly offbeat charm: the interaction seems trivial on the surface, but it naturally conveys the warmth of downtown life. Rather than a major dramatic turning point, the scene uses his somewhat clumsy, flustered movements and subtle emotions to show how much he cares, turning an ordinary errand into a small neighborhood adventure. Before this, he is likely still unsure where to go or checking his bearings, and afterward he continues down the street, gently advancing their awkward but endearing dynamic. In real life, the model location is Home Bakery Mikawaya near Sanno in Ota, Tokyo, and the overall spatial feel of the shopping street is very close to the anime, especially the storefront setback, the width of the road, and the mixed residential-commercial downtown atmosphere. The anime preserves the core structure of the real streetscape while simplifying signs, shop lettering, and visual clutter for a cleaner composition. When comparing the site in person, the facade, the frontage space, the road alignment, and the height of neighboring buildings are the most telling points. Compared with the anime, the real signs, merchandise displays, power lines, parked objects, and plants may have changed over time, so today’s view may not exactly match the broadcast-era background, but the overall layout remains recognizable enough that fans can immediately feel they have found the place.
