Can I still see the Odaiba Ferris Wheel from this anime location?

No. The Palette Town Ferris Wheel was dismantled in 2022, so the structure itself is gone, but you can still visit the general bayside area and compare the surrounding layout with the anime.

What is the best station for reaching the former ferris wheel site?

Aomi Station on the Yurikamome Line is the most convenient choice, with Tokyo Teleport Station on the Rinkai Line also within walking distance depending on your route.

Is it still worth doing a pilgrimage here even after the landmark was removed?

Yes. Fans still visit because the waterfront atmosphere, nearby roads, and Odaiba skyline help reconstruct the scene, especially when checked alongside older Street View imagery and anime screenshots.

A quiet emotional moment unfolds against the backdrop of the former Odaiba Ferris Wheel, emphasizing the series' youthful romantic tension.
This moment carries the kind of restrained, ambiguous emotion typical of the series: against the night view of Odaiba and the ferris wheel, the characters seem closer to each other, yet their silence is made heavier by feelings they cannot honestly say out loud. As a strongly date-like backdrop, the ferris wheel amplifies their anxiety, hope, and shyness, giving the scene the bittersweet mood of a youthful romance. Before this, the characters have usually already gone through a period of mutual hesitation or accumulating misunderstandings; after this, scenes like this often serve as foreshadowing for an emotional turning point, making viewers realize that their relationship is quietly changing. The anime’s use of the Odaiba Ferris Wheel is immediately recognizable, since this large colorful wheel was once one of Odaiba’s signature landmarks, and together with the wide pedestrian spaces, bayfront night views, and nearby commercial facilities, it created a very distinctive urban date setting. Compared with the real place, the anime usually beautifies the brightness of the night scenery, the color of the sky, and the surrounding lighting to make the image more romantic, while the building proportions and ferris wheel silhouette are generally captured quite accurately. As for signage and storefront markings, the work tends to simplify or rename them rather than reproduce real commercial logos exactly. One important point is that the Odaiba Ferris Wheel was dismantled in 2022, so if you visit the same coordinates today, you can no longer see the main structure that once dominated the view. Instead, you have to rely on the surrounding streetscape, road layout, and open bayside atmosphere to imagine how the anime framed the location, which gives this pilgrimage spot an added feeling of revisiting a vanished landmark.
