Is this crossing really right next to Ano Station?

Yes. The crossing is immediately beside Ano Station on the Keihan Ishiyama Sakamoto Line, so it is very easy to reach on foot.

Can I safely recreate the anime angle here?

You can photograph the area from public roadside space, but do not stand inside the crossing or block traffic. Use caution because the road is narrow and trains pass very close.

Are there any fan signs or official Chunibyo markers at this spot?

There is no permanent official anime monument at the crossing itself. Fans usually rely on screenshots and Street View comparisons rather than on-site signage.

Yuta and Rikka are shown near the railway crossing by Ano Station, framed against the tracks in a quiet, emotionally charged everyday moment.
This moment comes as Yuta and Rikka are moving through town together and reach the railway crossing near Ano Station. The mood looks calm on the surface, but there is already a subtle sense of distance, concern, and growing emotional awareness between them. Rikka still hides her real feelings behind her chuunibyo behavior and exaggerated fantasy language, while Yuta keeps teasing her yet continues to look after her without realizing how much he cares. The brief pause at the crossing turns an ordinary walk into a meaningful beat, showing how their relationship is shifting from comedy toward something gentler and more intimate. The railway setting also adds a classic coming-of-age sense of transition, as if they are about to cross into a deeper understanding of each other. In real life, this scene corresponds to the railway crossing beside Ano Station in Otsu, Shiga, and the anime recreates the overall composition very faithfully. The direction of the tracks, the narrow road by the crossing, and the everyday residential atmosphere all closely match the real location. The main differences are in small details such as updated crossing equipment, warning sign designs, road surfaces, and utility pole attachments that have changed over time, while the anime simplifies background clutter to keep attention on the characters. The real site feels even tighter and more compact than it appears onscreen, and it is an especially rewarding pilgrimage spot for fans who want to compare the frame with Street View or older screenshots.
