Can I easily recreate the Episode 3 shot at the Sukiyabashi police box area?

Yes, the street layout is publicly accessible and the east-facing angle can be matched from the sidewalk near the police box. Early morning works best because traffic and pedestrians build up quickly around Ginza.

Are photos allowed around the police box and intersection?

Street photography from public sidewalks is generally fine, but avoid blocking the koban entrance, photographing officers directly, or using large equipment in busy pedestrian areas. Be extra careful at crosswalk corners because this junction stays active through most of the day.

What nearby station is best for an anime pilgrimage visit to this scene?

Ginza Station is the easiest access point and puts you just a short walk from the scene. Yurakucho Station is also convenient if you want to combine this stop with other central Tokyo anime pilgrimage locations.

A quiet urban intersection is shown from the east-facing view near the Sukiyabashi police box, emphasizing the eerily empty cityscape.
This shot appears as a transitional cityscape moment during the characters’ movement, with no characters clearly visible in frame and the empty street instead emphasizing the series’ distinct post-apocalyptic silence. In the surrounding part of the episode, the characters are confronting a city that still looks orderly and functional, yet increasingly feels unnatural because the human presence that should define it is missing. The image works like a brief pause, letting the viewer absorb the loneliness and chill of the space itself while setting up the characters’ unease and continued exploration. In real life, the scene matches the east-facing street view near the Sukiyabashi police box under Tsukiji Police Station in Tokyo, and the road alignment, intersection layout, building massing, and high-rise backdrop are all very close to the anime composition. The anime preserves the straight roadway and the dense commercial walls of Ginza, but simplifies some signage, traffic markings, and storefront details to create a cleaner, more inorganic end-of-the-world mood. On site, lane markings, signals, guardrails, and corner fixtures are usually busier than in the anime, and the area has far more pedestrian and vehicle traffic; visiting early in the morning gives the best chance of recreating the same empty atmosphere.
