Can I safely photograph the Rikka sidewalk scene near the tower?

Yes, but it is a normal public sidewalk beside a roadway, so stay clear of traffic and avoid blocking pedestrians. A quick handheld photo is best, especially outside commuter hours.

Is there any official anime sign or marker at this Love, Chunibyo spot?

No official marker is known at this exact sidewalk location. Fans usually match the scene using the tower, road curve, guardrails, and utility poles.

What is the easiest way to confirm I found the exact scene point?

Use the tower position, the sidewalk edge, and the spacing of poles and railings, then compare with Google Street View or fan reference photos. The anime framing is very faithful, so those fixed features line up well.

Rikka stands alone on a sidewalk near the tower, framed by the quiet roadside and overhead utility lines.
This moment appears as the story begins to settle emotionally, with Rikka walking alone on the sidewalk near the tower, looking quiet, burdened, and lost in thought. After the emotional tension between her and Yuuta, and after reflecting on her inner world and what her chuunibyou identity means to her, she seems to be sorting out her feelings and deciding what she truly wants to protect. There is no dramatic action here, but her solitary figure by the roadside conveys anxiety, attachment, and a faint loneliness, and the relationships around her move in a more honest direction afterward. In real life, this is a sidewalk near the tower, and the anime matches the road alignment, guardrail placement, utility poles, and open background very closely, so the location is easy to recognize even if the framing is slightly adjusted. The anime simplifies the background a little to focus attention on Rikka, making minor roadside elements, visual clutter, and some vegetation look cleaner than they do on site. There is no prominent anime signage at the location, so fans mainly identify it through the tower, the curve of the road, and the sidewalk edge; when compared with actual street views or Google Street View, the composition and spatial feel are impressively accurate, though pavement, rail paint, and surrounding details may have changed slightly over time.
