Is this Joshiraku spot easy to access from Akihabara Station?

Yes. The location is a short walk from JR Akihabara Station, and the Electric Town side is the most convenient exit for reaching this area.

Can I take comparison photos here without causing trouble?

Usually yes if you stay out of pedestrian flow and avoid blocking storefronts or traffic. Tripods and prolonged setup are not ideal because this part of Akihabara is often busy.

Does the street still look like it did in the anime?

The overall road layout and building massing are still recognizable, but tenant signs and advertisements change frequently in Akihabara. A Street View check before visiting helps a lot when planning exact angle matches.

The five main girls are shown out on an Akihabara street, framed against a recognizably busy urban backdrop in a comedic travel-like moment.
This moment appears during a travel-like section of Joshiraku Episode 13, when the five rakugo girls move through the city while keeping up the series’ usual fast-paced jokes and sarcastic banter. Their mood is light, excited, and playful, reacting to Akihabara’s strong urban and subculture atmosphere as if they were both tourists and comedians ready to turn the scenery itself into a punchline. The scene is less about major plot progression than about using their back-and-forth commentary to transform the Tokyo streetscape into part of the humor. Compared with the real Akihabara Kan-mae area, the anime captures the openness of the street, the arrangement of building facades, and the dense commercial sign culture of Akihabara quite accurately, making the area easy to recognize for viewers familiar with it. While some sign text, shop names, and fine details are simplified or altered to avoid directly copying real brands, the perspective, road width, and layered cityscape remain highly convincing. In real life, Akihabara changes quickly, so storefronts and billboards have been updated over time and the colors are often even more cluttered than in the anime; crowds, traffic, and temporary promotional displays also make it harder to recreate the cleaner composition seen onscreen. Even so, standing at a similar angle still gives a strong sense of how effectively the anime condensed and recreated Akihabara’s urban character.
