Is this exact Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! scene easy to match on site?

Yes. The bridge approach, roadside guardrails, and road curve are still the clearest reference points, though some traffic fixtures may have changed over time.

Can I safely take photos at the south side of the Shinhama-cho exit?

You can photograph the area from public sidewalks, but this is a busy roadside near the Omi Ohashi approach, so avoid stepping near traffic lanes and shoot carefully.

Is there a better way than walking from the station for this location?

Yes. Because the spot is some distance from the nearest rail stations, many visitors use a bicycle, taxi, or combine it with other Otsu pilgrimage stops around the bridge area.

Yuta and Rikka are shown along the roadside near the Omi Ohashi approach, capturing a calm everyday moment between them.
This moment appears while Yuta and Rikka are traveling together, at a stage when their relationship still feels slightly awkward but is gradually developing into a quiet mutual understanding. Yuta is frustrated by Rikka’s chuunibyo behavior yet cannot truly ignore her, while Rikka remains immersed in her fantasy world and slowly begins to show trust through their time together. The mood here is not dramatic, but instead feels like a brief pause during an ordinary outing, allowing their bond to deepen naturally against a plain urban backdrop. The real-life location is the south side of the Omi Ohashi Shinhama-cho exit, and the anime recreates the road alignment, guardrails, and open bridge-side atmosphere with strong accuracy, making the composition easy to compare on site. The most recognizable features are the shape of the road near the bridge approach and the roadside infrastructure, though the anime simplifies some real-world traffic signs, pavement markings, and surrounding details to create a cleaner frame. In reality, this is a fairly busy road environment, so visitors should be careful when taking photos. Seasonal vegetation, maintenance work, and road updates may create minor differences from the broadcast version, but it remains a highly identifiable and rewarding pilgrimage spot.
