Otsu city on the shores of Lake Biwa is the primary real-world model for the setting of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. The lakeside cityscape, train stations, and residential neighborhoods are faithfully reproduced in the anime by Kyoto Animation, making it one of the most recognizable pilgrimage destinations for KyoAni fans.
