Which Shinjuku exit should I use to reach the Undead Unluck scene at Miraina Tower?

Use JR Shinjuku Station’s New South Exit; Miraina Tower is directly connected on that side, making it the easiest approach for scene matching.

Can I take photos freely around JR Shinjuku Miraina Tower?

Yes, outdoor public walkways are generally fine for photography, but avoid blocking pedestrian traffic and do not use tripods in busy areas during peak hours.

Is this a good spot to compare with Google Street View before visiting?

Yes, the roads, building lines, and plaza layout are easy to verify on Street View, which helps a lot because storefront signs and small street details change over time.

Fuuko stands alone near JR Shinjuku Miraina Tower, framed by the modern station-side cityscape in a quiet moment of emotional isolation.
This moment appears during the phase when Fuuko is still being crushed by years of bad luck and loneliness. She stands alone in the busy Shinjuku cityscape, where the lively urban surroundings sharply contrast with the emptiness she feels inside. At this point, she has almost lost hope in life, and her mood is heavy, withdrawn, and defined by the pain of being unable to connect with others normally. The scene highlights her helpless state at the beginning of the story and creates a strong contrast before her fateful meeting with Andy changes everything. In real life, this scene matches the area around JR Shinjuku Station’s New South Exit and Miraina Tower. The anime clearly references the glass high-rise architecture, pedestrian spaces, and modern station-front streetscape here. Its reproduction of the building massing and street perspective is quite accurate, especially in capturing the open, clean, businesslike atmosphere of Shinjuku’s southern redevelopment zone. However, the anime simplifies roadside fixtures, traffic signs, shop signage, and pedestrian density so that the viewer focuses more on the character. Compared with the actual site and Street View, the building exterior and road alignment are very close, while the exact signs, plantings, temporary barriers, and advertisements may differ depending on the year.
