Kamakurakokomae Station Crossing (Slam Dunk)

鎌倉高校前駅

Kanagawa · Kanto

The railway crossing beside Kamakurakokomae Station on the Enoden line is the setting recreated in the opening of the 'Slam Dunk' anime, where Hanamichi Sakuragi and Haruko meet at a crossing with the sea and Enoshima behind them. The green-and-cream Enoden trains pass a level crossing that opens directly onto the Shonan coastline, matching the famous shot almost exactly. It is one of Japan's most photographed anime pilgrimage spots and draws visitors from across Asia.

Why we picked it

A tiny single-platform seaside station; the draw is the ordinary road crossing beside it, which carries no marker beyond the crowds of photographers at the right light.
