Can I recreate this Blue Archive The Animation view from public space?

Yes. The surrounding sidewalks and street crossings near the Sompo Japan Headquarters Building are public and suitable for matching the shot, but avoid blocking pedestrian flow during busy hours.

Is photography allowed around the Sompo Japan Headquarters Building?

Outdoor photography from public streets is generally fine, but building interiors, security areas, and privately managed forecourts may have restrictions. If staff or signage indicates limits, follow them.

What is the best station exit for reaching this anime location quickly?

Shinjuku Station's West Exit is the most convenient for this spot. Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line is also a practical alternative if you want a shorter walk through the office district.

A calm city establishing shot frames the area around the Sompo Japan Headquarters Building, emphasizing the modern urban atmosphere before the next development in the story.
This scene works as a city establishing shot, with no clearly visible characters, using the skyscrapers and street view to create a sense of pause before the next part of the story. The mood is quiet, restrained, and slightly tense, as if the characters are about to meet, move, or face a mission, while the scale and order of the city help deepen the modern urban atmosphere of the series. In real life, the location is around the Sompo Japan Headquarters Building in the Shinjuku West Exit area, and the anime reproduces the building massing, street alignment, and dense high-rise city impression quite accurately. While the anime simplifies some shop signs, traffic markings, and minor details to keep the frame clean, the skyline and overall streetscape remain highly recognizable. On location, visitors will notice more signage, trees, signals, and pedestrian traffic than in the anime, and seasonal changes, construction barriers, or updated street furniture may create small differences, but from a similar angle the production's faithful use of Shinjuku's business district is still very clear.
