Is the tree from the anime still easy to find at Ano Station?

Yes. It is right by the station area, and the spot is still recognizable when matched with the platform side and nearby road layout.

Can I take photos freely around Ano Station for anime pilgrimage purposes?

You can generally photograph from public space, but avoid blocking access, platforms, or local traffic. Be especially careful during train arrival times and keep other passengers out of close-up shots.

Is there anything useful nearby for a short pilgrimage stop?

Ano Station is a small local station, so facilities are limited. It is best to bring drinks in advance and combine the visit with other Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions spots along the Keihan line.

Rikka Takanashi and Yuta Togashi share a quiet moment near the tree by Ano Station in Episode 3 of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions - Heart Throb -.
This moment appears during a transitional everyday scene, with no major conflict and instead the series’ characteristic youthful mood and faint romantic tension. As Rikka and Yuta pause briefly around the station area, their emotions feel calm and focused, as if they have found a small break from busy school life and chuunibyo fantasies. Scenes like this often reflect the subtle shifts in their relationship, showing a sense of closeness mixed with slight awkwardness before and after their exchange, which gives the moment a gentle and natural atmosphere. The real-life counterpart is the tree and station-front surroundings near Ano Station in Otsu, Shiga, and the anime reproduces the overall composition very well, especially the road layout, the spatial feel beside the platform, and the use of the tree as the visual center. However, the anime presents cleaner, brighter colors and removes some of the everyday visual clutter of the real site, making it feel like an idealized version of ordinary scenery. Signage and station name boards may have changed slightly over time, so visitors may notice more modern maintenance in person, while the tree’s shape and leaf density also vary by season and pruning. Overall, it is a recognizable pilgrimage spot that works best when compared together with the station building and nearby road lines.
