An exterior walk through Kasumigaseki, Hibiya and the Imperial Hotel area. Three urban references linked to the anime, with context avoiding outcomes and park works guidance.
Offline: full text. Links require internet. Detailed maps are not included.
Kasumigaseki → Hibiya → Imperial Hotel
Arrive at Kasumigaseki station and follow open exits towards the government district. Finish in Hibiya. Add fares from and back to your accommodation separately.
Start in daylight in Kasumigaseki and view the building from the pavement. Use pedestrian crossings towards Hibiya, then continue to the Imperial Hotel. Set aside a morning or afternoon with breaks; the walk has not been timed.
If works block the park section you want to visit, stay on open perimeter pavements and continue to the hotel. Completing this walk never requires crossing a closed area.
Episodes 6–7 place Light and Naomi’s encounter around the investigation. Fans identify this building through comparisons; NTV does not confirm this precise location. View it from public space; this route does not enter offices or security checkpoints.

Mipon compares the walk towards Hibiya with anime images. The pin marks the park, not an exact shot. Renewal work affects individual areas: check notices and use open paths. General entry is free; paid facilities are excluded.

Finish outside the Imperial Hotel. Mipon identifies it as a reference for L’s hotel; the official synopsis confirms a hotel meeting without naming this property. No visitable room from the series or interior access is included. Keep guest entrances clear and follow any construction diversions.
