Besides the Azabu street view, cobble-stoned commercial street is another one of the real life background scenes that appears in Sailor moon.

Akai kutsu no kanojo statue

There is the statue of a little girl with red shoes that appears several times in some scenes of the anime and the crystal located in a cobble-stoned park.

Akai-kutsu-no-kanojo (The Girl with the Red Shoes) is inspired from a nursery rhyme “Akai Kutsu(Red shoes)” that was written in 1922 by Ujo Noguchi, a poet. This rhyme is based on the life of a young girl(Iwasaki Kimi) who died of Tuberculosis disease at the Toriikazu Church in Azabu.

For the little story about the Tuberculosis girl, her mother got married to a certain Shiro Suzuki and they moved to Hokkaido. Later on she gave her 3 years old girl child for adoption to American missionaries since her daughter could not handle farming life. Then Kimi contracted Tuberculosis while still in Japan. At that period Tuberculosis was incurable so the adoptive family decided to leave her in an orphanage church. Unfortunately Kimi died at the age of 9 and her mother never found out. Well that’s a portion of the sad story of the girl in red shoes.
