Can I enter Ichigaya Garrison to recreate this scene?

No, this is an active JGSDF facility, so general access is restricted except for specific public events or authorized visits. Most fans recreate the scene from public roads and sidewalks outside the perimeter.

Is photography allowed around the real-life anime spot?

Photography from public streets is generally possible, but avoid aiming cameras at gates, guards, or security-sensitive areas. Follow posted notices and be prepared to stop if staff or police advise against it.

What is the best station for this DEAD DEAD DEMONS location hunt?

Ichigaya Station is the most practical base because it gives easy walking access to the garrison perimeter roads seen in the anime. Yotsuya Station can also work if you plan to compare multiple nearby city backgrounds in one trip.

A quiet street view near Ichigaya Garrison captures the anime’s unsettling contrast between ordinary Tokyo scenery and a constant sense of looming tension.
This moment appears in a part of the story where ordinary city scenery is used to emphasize how abnormal the world has become. Even without clearly focused characters, the composition of the urban road and the perimeter of a large facility conveys a Tokyo that looks normal on the surface but remains deeply unsettled underneath. In the surrounding plot, the characters continue moving through what seems like everyday life, yet the pressure created by the massive mothership and the social climate has already seeped into every corner of the city, so the feeling here is not dramatic explosion but a restrained, distant, and quietly alarming tension. The real-life match is the street area around the JGSDF Ichigaya Garrison in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and the anime reproduces the road alignment, boundary walls, and overall urban atmosphere with notable accuracy, especially the open yet guarded feeling around a military facility. In reality, because this is an active Self-Defense Force site, entrances, security arrangements, and related signage are more explicit, and depending on the time there may be notices about restricted access, security, or photography, while the anime simplifies such details to focus on mood. The roadside greenery, guardrails, pavement markings, and building proportions generally line up well, though renovations, traffic updates, and seasonal changes create some differences from the animated version.
