Can I still recognize the exact convenience store from episode 1 today?

Yes, the street layout and building position are still recognizable, but the store signage and exterior details may differ from the anime due to later updates.

Is it okay to take photos at this SING "YESTERDAY" FOR ME location?

You can usually photograph the street from public space, but avoid blocking the entrance, filming customers, or shooting inside the shop without permission.

What is the best way to match the anime angle at this location?

Use Google Street View first to line up the corner, storefront, and road direction, then visit in softer late-day light for the closest atmosphere.

Rikuo stands at the entrance of the convenience store where he works, framed by the quiet suburban street atmosphere of episode 1.
This scene appears early in the story and captures Rikuo Uozumi’s flat, stagnant everyday life. After graduating from college, he has no clear goal and simply works part-time at a convenience store, drifting through days filled with uncertainty about the future. Although he seems calm on the surface, he carries a quiet emptiness and fatigue inside, and this moment helps establish the series’ lonely urban mood. Around this point in the plot, Rikuo is still being pulled by unresolved feelings from the past, while his encounters with Haru Nonaka and Shinako Morinome gradually force him to confront his life and emotions. In real life, the convenience store location matches the anime quite closely: the position of the storefront, the direction of the road, the corner layout, and the surrounding building mass all correspond well to the actual site, making it easy to recognize. The signage and branding were altered in the anime rather than copied directly, but the composition of the facade, entrance proportions, and the atmosphere of the nearby residential street remain highly accurate. Compared with the anime, the real site may show changes over the years such as updated signs, exterior colors, parked vehicles, and roadside fixtures, so it may not look exactly the same when photographed today. Even so, from a similar angle, the careful reference to everyday Tokyo streetscape is still very clear.
