Can I still see the old Tokyo Denki University campus from Steins;Gate here?

Not in its original form. The Kanda campus has been redeveloped, so fans mainly match the street layout and surrounding perspective rather than the old school buildings themselves.

Is this Steins;Gate spot easy to compare with Google Street View before visiting?

Yes, it is one of the easier urban comparison points because the road geometry remains clear even after redevelopment. Checking Street View in advance helps a lot when lining up the anime angle.

Are there any restrictions on taking photos around this former campus site?

Street photography from public sidewalks is generally fine, but avoid blocking pedestrians or photographing private building interiors. Because the area is now part of an active city block, quick and respectful shooting is best.

Okabe and Mayuri move through the former Tokyo Denki University Kanda campus area as confusion and unease linger after the episode’s shocking events.
This moment appears around Episode 2 of Steins;Gate, after Rintarou Okabe experiences the incomprehensible events at Dr. Nakabachi’s lecture hall and remains mentally tense and confused. He believes he witnessed Kurisu Makise’s death and even sent a desperate message, yet after the world seems to quietly rewrite itself, everything around him looks strangely normal. Here, he and Mayuri Shiina pass through the area around Tokyo Denki University’s former Kanda campus. On the surface it is just a brief everyday transition, but internally Okabe is obsessively replaying the anomaly he just experienced and questioning whether he truly encountered something beyond common sense, while Mayuri stays by his side with her usual gentle calm, giving the scene a subtle emotional contrast. The anime draws from the surroundings of the former private Tokyo Denki University Kanda campus, and the accuracy of the location is fairly high, especially in the width of the road, the setback of the buildings, and the urban atmosphere around the campus edge, making it recognizable to viewers familiar with the Akihabara-Kanda border area. However, the site no longer preserves the campus exactly as it once was, and redevelopment has changed the buildings, signage, and parts of the perimeter, so the biggest difference today is that the background structures and school name markers no longer fully match the anime-era view. For anime pilgrimage purposes, this spot works best for matching the street corner composition, road alignment, and distant perspective rather than expecting to find the original campus entrance sign, and comparing the frame with Google Street View helps reveal how the staff simplified and rearranged the real city layout for the series.
