Can I take anime comparison photos at Sensoji freely?

Yes, casual photography is generally allowed in the temple grounds and surrounding public approaches, but avoid blocking walkways, tripods in busy areas, and photographing worshippers too closely.

What is the best time to recreate the Fate/Grand Order atmosphere here?

Go early in the morning, ideally shortly after sunrise on a weekday, when Nakamise and the temple approaches are least crowded and the view is closest to the anime's emptier framing.

Is the exact scene spot near Kaminarimon or deeper inside Sensoji?

The scene is based on the broader Sensoji/Asakusa temple precinct atmosphere rather than a perfect one-point match, so compare both the outer approach and the main grounds with Street View and your reference image.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight stand in a devastated Tokyo street modeled after Sensoji Temple, facing the ominous silence of Singularity F.
This scene appears in Fate/Grand Order: First Order as Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight move through Tokyo in Singularity F and arrive at an area clearly inspired by Sensoji Temple. A place that should feel familiar and lively instead looks desolate and ominous because of the Holy Grail-induced distortion, so the two carefully assess their surroundings while feeling the weight of an unprecedented crisis. The mood is filled with post-disaster silence and tension, and although they are wary of unknown enemies, they are also determined to keep moving forward and uncover the truth. After this moment, they are drawn even deeper into the conflict surrounding Servants and the collapse of the singularity. The anime scene is evidently based on the Sensoji area in Tokyo, and the composition of the approach, the open pedestrian space around the temple grounds, and the sightseeing-district atmosphere in the background all match the real location quite closely. The production does not copy every real-world detail exactly, however, and instead simplifies signage, storefront information, and crowds to create the apocalyptic feeling of a broken singularity, making an area that is usually bustling seem eerily empty. In reality, the entrances to Sensoji, Kaminarimon, Nakamise Shopping Street, and the surrounding guidance signs are much more complete, and the commercial signage is denser as well, creating a strong contrast with the abandoned, everyday-life-is-gone mood of the anime. Even so, the road width, viewing angle, and landmark atmosphere are reproduced accurately enough that the real-world model is easy to identify when compared with the actual site or Street View.
