Can I recreate the shot right next to Anou Station’s crossing?

Yes, the crossing is immediately beside Anou Station and the angle is easy to recognize, but it is an active railway crossing so stay off the roadway and never step inside the barriers.

Is photography allowed at this Chunibyo pilgrimage spot?

Casual photography from public space is generally fine, but avoid tripods that block the narrow road or station access, and be respectful because this is a quiet residential area.

Are there useful facilities near the location for visitors?

The area around Anou Station is small and mostly residential, so convenience stores and larger facilities are limited; it is best to prepare before arriving from central Otsu or along the Keihan line.

Yuta and Rikka stand near the level crossing beside Anou Station, framed by the quiet suburban street seen in episode 9.
This moment comes after Yuta and Rikka have started to feel more natural around each other, walking along a familiar everyday route after school. The mood is no longer just playful chuunibyo comedy, but carries a quiet and delicate emotional current. As Yuta deals with Rikka’s behavior, he gradually begins to understand the loneliness and fragility hidden inside her, while Rikka slowly lowers her guard through their time together. A brief pause at a railway crossing perfectly highlights how their relationship is shifting from jokes and clashes into a deeper bond, with gentle warmth, hesitation, and the unmistakable flutter of adolescence. The real-life model is the level crossing beside Anou Station on the Keihan Ishiyama Sakamoto Line in Otsu, Shiga, and the anime recreates the road alignment, crossing barriers, track placement, and neighborhood scale with impressive accuracy. Compared with the anime, the utility poles, signals, warning signs, and small details around the crossing may have changed over time, and some houses or plants may look a little different, but the overall streetscape remains highly recognizable. Part of the charm of this spot is that it is not a major tourist landmark but an ordinary residential railway scene, which makes the series’ grounded youthful atmosphere feel even more real. Visitors should remember that this is still an active crossing, so photography should be done safely without entering the tracks or blocking local residents.
