Use Google Street View first to match the road angle and building lines, then visit in daylight because small details like signs and facades may have changed over time.

A quiet neighborhood street view near the Setagaya Shopping Street Association is shown as an ordinary urban backdrop in episode 1.
This moment appears during one of the series’ everyday cityscape passages, where the characters continue moving through familiar residential streets and shopping street areas despite the enormous abnormal presence hanging over Tokyo. The frame does not necessarily focus on a specific character, but instead uses an ordinary neighborhood view to highlight the series’ signature contrast: life looks calm on the surface, yet everyone carries a sense of adaptation, numbness, and faint unease. The surrounding scenes build on that mood through casual movement and daily interactions, gradually reinforcing the pressure of the world itself. In real life, this location is around the Setagaya Shopping Street Association, and the overall street composition is very close to the anime, especially in the road alignment, building placement, and openness of the corner. Signboards and storefront details were simplified or redesigned in the anime rather than copied directly, but the local shopping street atmosphere remains recognizable. The real location feels visually busier, with overhead wires, roadside fixtures, and building exteriors changing over time, so a Google Street View comparison shows strong overall accuracy while also revealing small differences caused by time and artistic adjustment.
