Is the exact crossing easy to identify from the anime frame?

Yes. The broad intersection shape, traffic-light placement, and surrounding road geometry match the real Setagaya City Office Crossing closely, especially if you check Google Street View first.

Can I take photos here without special permission?

Yes for normal personal photography from public sidewalks, but do not block pedestrians, bike traffic, or the crossing. Avoid tripods during busy periods and never step into the roadway for a shot.

Are there useful stops nearby for an anime pilgrimage visit?

Yes. The area around Setagaya City Office and Shoin-jinja-mae has convenience stores, cafés, and rest spots, making it easy to combine this location with a wider SING "YESTERDAY" FOR ME walk.

Rikuo and Haru stand at a broad Setagaya intersection, framed by traffic lights and roadside buildings in a subdued everyday moment.
This moment comes early in the story, when the relationships are still tentative and unspoken. As Rikuo and Haru meet or walk together on an ordinary street, the atmosphere feels slightly awkward and uncertain. Haru keeps trying to get closer to him in her own straightforward way, while Rikuo remains trapped by confusion about his past and future, unable to fully return her feelings yet unable to ignore her either. The scene captures that emotional tension beneath a quiet street-corner pause, showing hesitation, concern, and a faint loneliness that sets up their deepening bond later on. In real life, the location matches Setagaya City Office Crossing, and the anime recreates the road layout, width of the intersection, traffic lights, and corner building placement with impressive accuracy. The background is simplified in the show, with signage and storefront details toned down or altered, but the real area still keeps the open urban feel of a Tokyo residential and civic district. The biggest differences today are updated signs, changed businesses, road markings, and seasonal greenery, yet the overall shape and viewing angle remain highly recognizable, especially when compared with Google Street View.
