Is the Ano Station tree still easy to identify from the anime scene?

Yes. Fans still use the tree beside Ano Station as the main landmark, though pruning and seasonal foliage can slightly change its silhouette.

Can I take photos around Ano Station without special permission?

Yes, casual photography from public space is generally fine, but avoid blocking station users, filming staff or residents closely, and stay off private property.

Are there any useful stops near this pilgrimage point?

Yes. The station area is small, so many fans combine it with other Otsu and Keihan line spots from the series and bring drinks or supplies before arriving.

Yuuta and Rikka share an early, slightly awkward encounter near the tree by Ano Station in episode 1.
This moment appears early in the story, when Yuuta Togashi is trying to seal away his embarrassing chuunibyo past and begin life as an ordinary high school student, only to run into Rikka Takanashi, who lives even more deeply inside that fantasy world. The tree and road area near Ano Station becomes one of the first places where the two leave a strong impression on each other. Yuuta feels confused, awkward, and slightly desperate to avoid her, while Rikka steps naturally into his daily life with an air of mystery that is hard to explain. Although the moment seems ordinary, it plants an important seed for their later relationship, which grows from resistance and friction into mutual understanding. In real life, the anime is very faithful to the location: the road layout, the position of the tree, and the overall street-corner atmosphere around Ano Station closely match the framing in the series. The prominent tree beside the station is especially easy for fans to recognize as a landmark. That said, the anime simplifies utility lines, roadside fixtures, and smaller street signs to create a cleaner image, while the real location shows more traffic signage, guardrails, residential detail, and seasonal plant changes. Tree pruning, road resurfacing, and minor station-area updates may create slight differences over time, but the overall mood and recognizability remain excellent, making this a very approachable pilgrimage spot for recreating the scene.
