Can I access the riverbank under the aqueduct bridge directly for photos?

Yes, the riverside paths and embankment area are generally accessible on foot, but footing can be uneven and conditions change after rain or high water. Wear stable shoes and avoid entering the riverbed during bad weather.

Is there an official Just Because! sign or marker at this spot?

No permanent official anime marker is known at this exact riverside location. Fans usually identify it by matching the aqueduct bridge, embankment shape, and surrounding skyline with the anime and map views.

Hazuki Morikawa and Eita Izumi stand by the riverbank beneath the aqueduct bridge in a subdued conversation filled with hesitation.
This moment appears during a stage when the relationship between the characters is becoming subtly more complicated. Standing by the Sakaigawa riverbank, the two seem to be having an ordinary calm conversation, yet both are carrying feelings of concern and hesitation that they cannot easily put into words. Just Because! consistently portrays the emotional drift of high school students before graduation with a restrained rhythm, so the atmosphere here feels especially quiet: on one hand it looks like a small everyday moment, but on the other it quietly reveals how the characters observe each other, test boundaries, and struggle with feelings they have not yet sorted out. After this point, the distance between them does not immediately close; instead, the scene emphasizes that distinctly adolescent frustration of wanting to get closer while not knowing how to take the next step. In real life, the anime reproduces the terrain beneath the Sakaigawa Aqueduct Bridge with impressive accuracy, including the width of the river, the sloped embankment, the overhead pipe bridge composition, and the open, slightly empty feeling of the riverside. To preserve the series' calm tone, the anime cleans up some of the visual noise of the real site, so visitors may notice more railings, vegetation, riverbed texture, and traces of nearby infrastructure. Since this kind of riverside spot does not have the obvious signage of a station or shop, the key landmarks are the aqueduct bridge itself, the embankment lines, and the sense of distance from the surrounding residential area. For anime pilgrimage purposes, it is a location where the overall landscape matches very well, even if some small details were simplified, making it a rewarding place to compare with maps and Street View when recreating the shot.
