Yes, outdoor photography is generally possible from public streets, but avoid blocking the road or photographing private homes too closely.

Does the area still look close to the anime scene today?

A quiet torii standing along a calm urban street is shown as an atmospheric establishing shot in March Comes In Like a Lion.
No clear characters appear in this shot; it functions more like an emotional transitional background scene. The torii and the quiet surrounding street create a calm, reflective atmosphere with a hint of loneliness, matching March Comes In Like a Lion’s delicate way of portraying inner feelings. In the story, scenes like this often appear before or after moments of hesitation, contemplation, or emotional release, letting viewers feel the characters’ unspoken pressure, solitude, and gradual attempt to compose themselves. In real life, the location matches the anime quite well, especially the torii placement, the direction of the road, and the overall sense of a residential neighborhood. The anime slightly simplifies real-world details such as signage, roadside clutter, and some modern street fixtures, making the frame cleaner and more focused on mood. When visiting, pay attention to the street width, utility poles, and building facades around the torii, as these elements are very close to the anime, although signs, trimmed greenery, and parked vehicles may differ somewhat from when the series originally aired.
