I also checked out Weathering With You locations in the Kabukichō parts of Shinjuku.

Hodaka is walking down the streets of Kabukichō with the red Kabukichō Ichiban-gai gate in the background.

He gets stopped by the police in front of this Tenkaippin ramen restaurant.

In another trailer he peers around this corner.

This is right next to where Hodaka peers around the corner. If you look closely you can see him sitting next to the blue trash can in the middle of the anime shot.
It was difficult to match the whole anime shot in one picture, so here's another from a different angle.

The place where Hodaka sits looks a bit different in real life and there's no blue trash can.

Also next to where Hodaka sits down is this place where he drags Hina along.

Hodaka is seen exiting the alley here.

And he spots...
Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 00m26s
Hina with some dubious types. On the left in the picture I took here you can see ads for the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
The ads were actually in the location of a certain parking lot that's shown in all the Yakuza games.

This is another street where Hodaka drags Hina along.

And this parking lot.

Further along the street is also this place.

Where Hodaka seems to fire a gun. There's only letters on one side of the pink sign here in real life. I've marked a path starting at the Kabukichō Ichiban-gai gate, going through all the other locations, ending up here in the map below.
