Can I take comparison photos right in front of the Kichijoji East Exit police box?

Yes, but stay out of the pedestrian flow and do not block the police box entrance. Quick handheld photos from the sidewalk are fine; avoid tripods during busy hours.

Is this still an easy spot to match with the anime scene today?

Yes, the police box and station-side street layout are still recognizable, though storefront signs and small street fixtures have changed. Street View is very useful for lining up the angle before you visit.

Are there practical facilities nearby for anime pilgrims?

Yes, Kichijoji Station has lockers, restrooms, cafes, and convenience stores within a few minutes' walk. The area is very easy to combine with other Kichijoji anime and shopping stops.

The girls are shown together near Kichijoji Station’s east exit area, captured in a bright everyday moment with the police box and station streetscape as the backdrop.
This moment appears while the characters are out together and briefly pause near Kichijoji Station’s east exit before heading to their next destination. The scene carries the relaxed, everyday tone typical of the OVA, with the girls chatting and moving through the city in a bright, natural mood. Rather than focusing on major conflict, the sequence highlights their easy friendship and group chemistry, making the Kichijoji streetscape an important part of the show’s slice-of-life atmosphere. The real-life match is the area around the Kichijoji Station East Exit police box, and the anime recreates the general street layout very accurately, especially the road alignment near the station exit, the corner space, and the police box as a clear landmark. Real-world signs, shop information, and transit guidance may have changed over time compared with the broadcast period, but the police box itself, the station approach, and the surrounding urban scenery remain highly recognizable. The anime simplifies background text and crowd density to keep the characters visually prominent, so the actual location is usually busier and filled with more modern signage, barriers, and street fixtures, yet the angle and building massing still make this a very approachable pilgrimage spot for scene comparison.
