Yayoi and Keitaro stand near the tunnel approach as the oppressive atmosphere signals the dangerous haunting ahead.
This moment occurs as the group approaches a dangerous supernatural hotspot and the atmosphere grows increasingly oppressive. Yayoi leads Keitaro forward with her usual calm, sharp composure, showing almost no hesitation in the face of the powerful vengeful spirit ahead, while Keitaro is visibly uneasy and tense. The setting is more than just a background for movement, as it foreshadows the abnormal threat waiting in front of them; before this moment, the two have already prepared themselves mentally to enter a dangerous area, and after it, the story pushes fully into an even more chilling paranormal encounter. The real-life model is Sendagaya Tunnel in Tokyo, and the anime captures the straight road approach, retaining walls, and the enclosed pressure created by the urban road structure with impressive recognizability. The actual site’s lane markings, guardrails, slope, and surrounding greenery all correspond clearly to the animated frame, though the series darkens the lighting and simplifies city details to heighten the horror mood. You may not find the exact same composition on site, but from a similar angle the road alignment and tunnel outline are still easy to compare, while real-life signage and traffic markers are denser and more typical of a major Tokyo roadway.
