Yeah, I jumped the gun on that after asking for input. I also didn't notice the proximity of the shrine. I have a ready-made excuse, though, in that I'm explicitly using the first season of the anime, and the Hikawa shrine it uses is a different one -- to the north a jog, IIRC, but I don't have my references with me right now so I can't give specifics. The one in the area I linked to is the one used in the manga; it is much smaller and doesn't have the wooded grounds we see in the anime.
Handwaves aside, though, that kind of catch is why I wanted to crowdsource this. I didn't remember that Usagi needed a bus to get to the Shrine. Is that manga, anime or both, out of curiosity? If both, then I'll want to choose a different area, but one still in sight of the Tokyo Tower.
Oh, another of those research details: I discovered that the Hard Rock Cafe in Roppongi has been there since 1983 (and is located in the oddest little out-of-the-way corner). I suddenly want Doug and the Sailor Senshi to sweep in one night in full uniform after a difficult mission, and get a table to chow down and do their after-op debrief.
