Have You Ever Noticed How Similar the Neighborhoods are in Both Bakuman and Bleach?

Because I was watching Bakuman the other day, and Mashiro looks like he's just strolling through Karakura Town, lol.

Is this just how neighborhoods are Japan, or . . . . ?

Also, Mashiro mentioned that manga-ka use books of scenery as references to draw things in their art, so maybe Tite Kubo and Takeshi Obata just happened look at the same book, or whatever, lol.
