Yes, casual photography from public sidewalks is generally fine, but avoid blocking pedestrians, station users, buses, or photographing people too closely.

What is the best way to match the anime angle before visiting?

Checking Google Street View around the station plaza and nearby road alignment helps a lot, since small signs and parked cars change but the overall street layout remains recognizable.

A quiet exterior view near Kami-Igusa Station captures the ordinary neighborhood atmosphere used in SSSS.GRIDMAN.
This scene does not emphasize any specific character, instead using the streetscape around the station to establish the everyday atmosphere of the story’s setting. In SSSS.GRIDMAN, ordinary urban corners like this often appear before the extraordinary events unfold, helping viewers feel the reality of the world the characters live in. The mood here is quiet and routine, like a familiar walk to or from school, while also carrying the faint sense of unease and reflection that runs through the series as daily life overlaps with strange incidents. The real-life model is the area around Kami-Igusa Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, and the anime reproduces the road layout, station-front space, and surrounding building shapes with impressive accuracy. The station entrance area and the openness of the nearby street are especially recognizable, and from a similar angle the composition closely matches the anime. That said, shop signs, notices, parked vehicles, and small street fixtures may have changed over time, and seasonal differences can also affect the trees, lighting, and overall color of the view. As a pilgrimage spot, it is easy to identify and access, and it works especially well if you compare the angle in advance using Google Street View before visiting.
