Is Sunshine Square easy to access for a My Dress-Up Darling pilgrimage?

Yes. It is a public plaza area by Sunshine City and is easily reached from Higashi-Ikebukuro Station or from Ikebukuro Station on foot.

Can I take photos freely at this anime scene location?

Casual photography in the open plaza is generally fine, but avoid blocking walkways, photographing people without permission, or interfering with event setups and commercial operations.

Does the spot still look like the anime frame today?

The core plaza layout still matches well, but event decorations, promotional signage, and temporary installations change often, so checking recent Street View and visitor photos is helpful before you go.

Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo move through the open plaza area at Sunshine City, capturing the lively urban mood of their outing in Episode 5.
This moment appears during the outing where Marin and Gojo are growing closer, showing their relationship shifting from cosplay collaboration into more personal time together. Marin is as cheerful and proactive as ever, pulling Gojo along with a light, excited energy through a lively urban setting she seems comfortable in, while Gojo looks a little reserved but is gradually starting to settle into the natural, heart-racing rhythm of being with her. Rather than being just a transition shot, the scene works as an important emotional bridge in their developing bond. In real life, the scene matches Sunshine Square around Sunshine City in Ikebukuro quite well, especially in the open plaza layout, the surrounding building massing, and the commercial city atmosphere. The anime simplifies some shop signs, advertisements, and pedestrian density to keep the frame clean and character-focused, but the location remains easy to recognize. When visiting, the biggest differences are usually the changing signage, seasonal decorations, event installations, and crowd levels, yet the plaza surface, nearby facades, and overall viewing angle still make this a highly recognizable and impressively accurate pilgrimage spot.
