Is this McDonald's still easy to find right outside Ishiyama Station?

Yes. It is directly in the station-front area by JR Ishiyama Station, so it remains one of the easiest Chunibyo pilgrimage spots to access on foot.

Can I take photos of the anime angle without entering the restaurant?

Yes, the recognizable view is from the public station-front street area. If you photograph near the storefront, avoid blocking customers and do not linger in private business space.

What is the best way to compare the scene with the real location before visiting?

Use Google Street View around Ishiyama Station’s front plaza and check the intersection and storefront alignment first. That makes it much easier to match the anime composition once you arrive.

Rikka and Yuuta stand together near the McDonald's by Ishiyama Station, framed by an ordinary streetscape that highlights their quietly changing relationship.
This moment takes place around the area in front of Ishiyama Station, where Rikka and Yuuta are out together in an atmosphere that feels delicately balanced between everyday routine and budding romance. As they spend more time together, Rikka still acts through her chuunibyo persona, yet she gradually reveals more genuine feelings and dependence on Yuuta, while Yuuta also begins to shift from simply looking after her to realizing how much he truly cares. There is no dramatic conflict in this scene; instead, the ordinary streetscape emphasizes the subtle change in their relationship and shows how their feelings quietly deepen through casual conversation and walking side by side. The real-life model is clearly the McDonald's in front of Ishiyama Station in Otsu, and the anime recreates the store position, street alignment, and open station-front atmosphere with strong recognizability. In real life, signage, branding, and façade details may have changed over time due to renovations and tenant updates, so the current appearance can differ somewhat from the broadcast-era version in color, sign placement, or nearby shops. Even so, the overall urban layout, intersection flow, pedestrian paths, and spacious station-front setting remain highly identifiable, and comparing the site with Street View makes it easier to see how the staff simplified the real scenery for the anime.
