Is this Oshi No Ko spot easy to reach from Meguro Station?

Yes. The street near the SMBC Meguro Branch is only a short walk from Meguro Station, and the route is straightforward through a busy commercial area.

Can I take photos freely near the bank building?

You can usually photograph the public street and sidewalks, but avoid blocking pedestrians or pointing cameras directly at bank entrances or security staff for long periods.

What is the best way to match the anime angle here?

Use Google Street View first to confirm the intersection layout, then stand on the sidewalk near the corner and align the road width and building lines rather than relying only on storefront signs.

Aqua and Ruby walk along a broad street near Meguro, framed by roadside buildings and an urban intersection in a calm everyday moment.
This moment appears during an earlier, more everyday section of Oshi No Ko, when Aqua and Ruby walk together through Tokyo in a mood that feels much lighter than the heavier entertainment-industry developments to come. As the siblings move along, Ruby shows her admiration for the city and the idol world, while Aqua keeps his usual calm and slightly distant attitude. Although it is not one of the story’s most dramatic scenes, it nicely captures the transitional feeling between ordinary daily life and the major turns waiting ahead. The real-life match is the streetscape near the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Meguro Branch in Kami-Osaki, Tokyo, and the overall road alignment, intersection scale, and arrangement of surrounding buildings are all very close, making it a highly recognizable model location. The anime reproduces the width of the street, the sidewalk positioning, and the corner perspective with impressive accuracy, while simplifying or altering storefront signs and background advertising rather than copying real commercial signage exactly. When visiting, you can identify the spot through the shape of the intersection, the spacing of roadside trees, and the rhythm of the building facades, though some shop signs, wall colors, and street fixtures may have changed since broadcast, so comparing it with Google Street View makes scene recreation much easier.
