It seems this is the most probable prototype for Kato Unitram's intersections. It's Harimayabashi on the Tosa Electric Railway in Kochi.

 

 

EDIT: There is also one key junction in Nagasaki that has been done over in this manner.  That is Nishihamanomachi.

The Tomix 3076 track covers match the removable paving blocks used by the Nagasaki Electric Tramway in the vicinity of the Nagasaki JR station.

The paving blocks are fairly common across many tramways in Japan.  Kumamoto, Nagasaki and Kagoshima all have very similar tramways.

I doubt Kato needed a prototype - they designed a 2-track system, so the double diverging tracks seem a foregone conclusion.

There are lots of those double turnouts, especially in Matsuyama, Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
