Mitsumi stands near the north exit area of Kichijoji Station, taking in the busy city scenery with a mix of curiosity and nervous energy.
This scene appears as Mitsumi is gradually adjusting to life in Tokyo. When she reaches the area around Kichijoji Station’s north exit, the lively and complicated city streets feel both exciting and a little overwhelming to her. Even so, she faces everything with her usual sincerity and positivity, and although the pace is completely different from her hometown, she is still full of anticipation as she tries to keep up with her new life. The moment continues the series’ gentle youthful rhythm, letting viewers feel her mix of nervousness and growing confidence as she slowly finds her place in an unfamiliar city. In real life, the anime captures the layout around the north exit of Kichijoji Station very accurately, including the openness near the station, the road arrangement, and the overall atmosphere of the shopping district. The real location has denser and more frequently changing shop signs, advertisements, and traffic markings, while the anime simplifies them to keep the scene clean but still recognizable. The greenery, building scale, and layered station-front space are also well reflected in the anime, though the real area is usually much busier, especially in the evening and on weekends. If you want to recreate a view close to the anime, visiting during a quieter daytime period is the best choice.
