Is the Episode 5 scene spot right outside Keihan Uji Station?

Yes. The match is at the station exterior/forecourt area, and you can recognize it by the station building and the open space in front.

Can I take photos there without causing trouble?

Yes, but it is an active station area, so avoid blocking entrances, bus/taxi movement, or other passengers. Early weekday hours are usually easiest for unobtrusive photo recreation.

Is this a good base for a Sound! Euphonium pilgrimage in Uji?

Absolutely. Keihan Uji Station is one of the most convenient starting points because several well-known series locations in Uji are reachable on foot from here.

Kumiko Oumae and Reina Kousaka are shown outside Keihan Uji Station in a calm transitional moment during Episode 5.
This moment appears during a sequence in which Kumiko and Reina move around the Uji area together, as their usually restrained school relationship gradually shifts into one where they can speak more honestly. What looks like a brief everyday moment outside the station, during commuting or transferring, actually carries their differing feelings about concert band, ability, and personal standards. Kumiko is slightly hesitant and observant, while Reina maintains her usual calm and determined presence, giving the scene a quiet, controlled mood with a growing sense of closeness. After this, their interactions help Kumiko understand Reina more deeply and grasp her strong desire to be someone special. In real life, this scene corresponds to the exterior area of Keihan Uji Station, and the anime recreates the road layout, station massing, and open forecourt with impressive accuracy. The station signage, guide boards, and nearby shops may differ somewhat today due to updates over the years, and smaller details like railings, storefront signs, and road markings are not identical, but the overall landscape remains highly recognizable. Compared with on-site photos or Google Street View, the anime slightly simplifies the composition while preserving the spatial relationships and camera angle very faithfully, making this a particularly easy and rewarding pilgrimage spot for fans to recreate.
