Can I recreate the shot right in front of Mita International Building Annex?

Yes, the scene can be matched from the public sidewalk near the building, so you do not need to enter private property. Be careful not to block office workers or building entrances when taking photos.

Is this area easy to visit using public transport for an anime pilgrimage?

Yes, it is a straightforward walk from Akabanebashi Station on the Toei Oedo Line, and the area is also accessible from Mita and Tamachi. The streets are wide and easy to navigate with map apps or Street View.

Are there any current restrictions on photography around this location?

Casual photography from public streets is generally fine, but tripods, commercial-style shooting, or photographing security desks and office interiors may draw attention. Since this is an active business district, visiting outside rush hour is the most comfortable option.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane move through a business-district street lined with modern office buildings in central Tokyo.
This moment takes place while the characters are walking together through a central Tokyo street. On the surface the mood is calm, but underneath it is filled with delicate psychological tension and mutual awareness. Shirogane appears composed, yet he is highly conscious of every detail of their time together, while Kaguya maintains her elegant poise as she quietly watches his reactions. There is no dramatic confrontation here, but the scene clearly captures their unspoken affection, their slightly awkward distance, and the way ordinary daily life slowly turns emotionally charged, setting up the teasing romantic mood that follows. In real life, this scene corresponds to the streetscape around Mita International Building Annex in Minato, Tokyo. The anime recreates the road alignment, office-building layout, corner space, and broad sidewalk atmosphere with impressive accuracy, especially the business-district feeling created by rows of modern buildings. As is common in anime, real signage, company logos, and small text are simplified or omitted, so the actual location has more visible building names, directional signs, and surrounding facilities than the animated version. Trees, streetlights, traffic signs, and storefront details may also differ depending on when reference material was taken, but the overall composition remains easy to recognize, making it a highly identifiable pilgrimage spot.
