Can I freely photograph the Ultraman Gaia angle at Tsudoi Bridge?

Gamu Takayama stands alone by the riverside bridge, framed against the open urban waterfront in a quiet reflective moment.
This moment appears during the heavy stretch leading into the final battles, with Gamu standing alone on the bridge, visibly tired and deep in thought as he tries to sort through the responsibility and conviction he has carried throughout the war. At this point he is not only a member of XIG, but also someone forced to choose between humanity, the Earth, and his own power. The open yet slightly desolate waterside setting heightens his loneliness, giving the scene a mood of brief calm mixed with emotional restraint. Looking back from this moment, it carries the pressure of repeated battles; looking forward, it becomes an important turning point where he regains his resolve and heads back into the fight. The real-life location matches Tsudoi Bridge in Tokyo’s waterfront district, and the bridge railings, river alignment, and placement of buildings across the water are all quite close to the anime, making it a highly recognizable spot. The anime simplifies the background somewhat to keep the space cleaner and the emotion more focused, while the real site includes more modern urban fixtures, walkway details, and signs of redevelopment. Bridge name signage and local guidance are usually presented in standard public-space style rather than highlighted like in fiction, so fans will want to compare the bridge shape, riverside angle, and surrounding buildings. Street View and on-site comparison show that the overall terrain and waterfront line remain quite faithful, though planting, railing details, and the skyline have changed over time.
