Can I still identify the tea shop from the anime scene easily today?

Yes. The storefront on Ujibashi-dori remains recognizable, and the street alignment still matches well enough for easy side-by-side comparison with the anime and Street View.

Is it okay to take photos in front of Kyoto Uji Tea Maruso Irie Main Shop?

Street-side photography is generally fine if you do not block customers or the entrance. Avoid shooting inside or closely photographing products without permission from the shop.

Are there other Sound! Euphonium pilgrimage spots near this location?

Yes. Keihan Uji Station, Uji Bridge, and several central Uji streets used in the series are all within easy walking distance, so this stop fits well into a short fan route.

Kumiko stands along a quiet Uji street in front of a traditional tea shop, framed by a calm everyday townscape.
This moment takes place in front of a small shop on a street in Uji, with a calm atmosphere and the gentle feeling of an ordinary walk. Like much of the Sound! Euphonium series, the short emphasizes delicate everyday life rather than dramatic conflict, letting the character show a natural sense of ease and subtle emotion within a familiar townscape. It feels like a brief return to Uji’s normal rhythm outside band practice and school life, reminding viewers of the bond between the city and the girls’ youth. The real-life location is Kyoto Uji Tea Maruso Irie Main Shop on Ujibashi-dori, and the overall street layout, storefront position, and building proportions match the anime very closely, making it an easy pilgrimage spot to recognize. The anime preserves the traditional feel of the facade and the depth of the street, while the sign placement and storefront outline clearly reference the real place, though the colors are usually cleaner and softer and some modern visual clutter is simplified. In person, the signage, merchandise displays, and surrounding streetscape may differ slightly depending on the year, but the location is still easy to compare with the scene, especially when checked against Google Street View.
