I don't really know how easy you can find such places, but "Western greater Tokyo" is one area where you can find those places.

For example this lists parks with similar views in Kawasaki city, city to the west/south of Tokyo.

Generally, the greater Tokyo area is flat although Japan is covered mostly by mountains as commented. Even then, the western part of Tokyo (not Tokyo-Tokyo full of skyscrapers, here Tokyo means an area defined by government) was originally hills and developed after the war.

There is this joke song made by the heroine of Whisper of the Heart:

Concrete roads, everywhere

Cutting down the trees, filling in the valley

West Tokyo, Mount Tama

My hometown is concrete roads

The 'western part of Tokyo' mentioned above basically corresponds to Tama area mentioned in the lyrics. Thus the area is hills made habitable, hence places like what you see are easy enough to find (probably). FYI the movie has some similar views (you can see the real pictures for example in this blog).
