Is this exact 7-Eleven still operating and easy to access?

Yes, the 7-Eleven Itabashi Nakamachi store is a normal public convenience store and can be visited from the street at any time. As a working shop, avoid blocking the entrance or photographing other customers.

Where should I stand to match the Blue Box frame best?

The best angle is from the opposite side of the street near the corner so you can capture the storefront and road bend together. A wide lens on Google Street View can help you fine-tune the position before visiting.

Can I take photos freely at this Blue Box pilgrimage spot?

Outdoor street photos are generally fine, but be respectful because it is an active neighborhood store. Do not shoot inside without permission, and avoid tripods if foot traffic is heavy.

Taiki and Chinatsu share a quiet moment outside a neighborhood 7-Eleven on their way home in Blue Box episode 7.
This moment takes place during an ordinary walk home, as the two continue the subtle emotional buildup from their earlier time together. Taiki is always a little nervous and conscious around Chinatsu; on the surface it is just a simple conversation and a brief stop, but inside he is quietly thrilled just to share such an everyday moment with her. Chinatsu remains natural and gentle as always, turning this seemingly unremarkable convenience store frontage into a small but meaningful step in the gradual closeness between them. After this, every routine walk and interaction makes Taiki even more certain of his feelings for her. The scene is based on 7-Eleven Itabashi Nakamachi in Tokyo’s Itabashi area, and the anime recreates the corner-store composition with notable accuracy, including the store’s position on the intersection, the overall building form, the direction of the road, and the open feel of the street. The easiest feature to recognize is the 7-Eleven signage with its green, orange, and red bands, which remains highly identifiable even in simplified animated form. That said, the anime cleans up visual clutter such as overhead wires, banners, temporary notices, and parked vehicles to keep the frame focused on the characters, while the real site may look different depending on the time of day, with changing posters, bin placement, motorcycles, or traffic. Overall, it is a highly faithful convenience-store pilgrimage spot with slight visual tidying for the screen.
