Ha - so we just established that Haruka is a Yamanote (Western Tokyo) girl - kinda makes sense, lots of her adventures tend to take place in Seibu territory.
Anyways, the 4 real-life/actual places touched upon this week:
A) Seibu Fujimidai station 西武富士見台駅 (Mariko headed off the south entrance)
B) The soba shop is called Mensho Morimori (麺処盛盛) which is around the area (Nukui 3-6-3, Nerima).
C) The onigiri place threw me a curveball as it was not actually called Fukagawa Hinataya 深川日向屋 (I am not even sure if I am pronouncing the kanji correctly, thanks oyomi/kunyomi), it’s actually Fukagawa Iseya 深川伊勢屋. Yes it’s near the Fujimidai station area (Nukui 3-7-7, Nerima), and it’s odd that Mariko came across the noodle shop first prior to the onigiri shop since this one is closer to the train station entrance.
D) Osamu Tezuka’s old workshop is located in a butcher shop/restaurant complex about a 10 minute walk away called Echigoya 越後屋 (Fujimidai 2-18-12, Nerima). Back in the 1970s Tezuka rented space on the 2nd floor from the butcher/restaurant owner and kept his manga workshop separate from the business side of things…or at least until he got his own custom built. That’s a little more to the west of the station area.
According to Tabelog reviews you can get a pretty okay steak served to you at the space formerly occupied by the great manga artist and his team of inkers and background artists. Echigo 越後 is the ancient name for Niigata 新潟 prefecture…which Haruka has a thing for. Someone wants to be the next Yasunari Kawabata?
So here’s the fifth bonus location - where did Osamu Tezuka conduct his business, and does he live nearby? That would be Mushi Production, which is his production company, private workshop (later on) and home compound (yep, he lived in the area). That one is yet another 10 minute walk away to the west of Echigoya at Fujimidai 2-30-5, Nerima. it is still active today managing Tezuka-san’s artwork and doing animation based on and derived from his works.
Nerima is considered one of the hubs of manga history and for the Showa classic buffs, it’s worth a short visit.

Haruka lives somewhere around Shakujii-Kouen station. I would guess Mariko visits the Soba place first because she wants to get breakfast before getting food for Haruka.
