What is the best way to match the anime angle at this Shinjuku spot?

Use Google Street View first to confirm the façade and sign placement, then visit in the evening when the lighting feels closest to the anime. Standing across the street or slightly off-center usually gives the clearest comparison shot.

A calm exterior street shot captures the distinctive façade and signage of BOOK AND BED TOKYO SHINJUKU, emphasizing the quiet urban mood of the scene.
This shot does not clearly show any characters, instead using the exterior of a distinctive Shinjuku building and its signage to create atmosphere and convey the feeling of a brief pause or movement through the city at night. Scenes like this usually work as emotional transitions, letting viewers feel a quiet moment of reflection between the idols’ busy schedules and inner thoughts, with a calm urban mood and a faint sense of hope for the future and the stage. In real life, the anime focuses on the building exterior and the eye-catching BOOK AND BED sign, and the actual location near Shinjuku Station can be matched from a very similar angle with high recognizability. The lettering, dark exterior above the entrance, and the scale of the street are all portrayed quite faithfully, making it an easy pilgrimage spot to identify. However, nearby storefronts, posters, temporary notices, and pedestrian traffic change over time, so the real location feels more lived-in than the cleaner, more arranged anime version. Even so, whether you compare it on site or with Google Street View, the core composition and sign placement remain impressively accurate.
