The Railway Crossing near the Enoden KAMAKURAKOKOMAE Station, a SLAM DUNK Pilgrimage
This is the location of the railway crossing that served as a model for the opening scene of Slam Dunk, a basketball-themed anime that has gained enthusiastic fans not only in Japan, but all over the world.
The best viewpoint is of the retro train passing through the railway crossing with the sea beyond the train tracks.
It’s right in front of KAMAKURAKOKOMAE Station on the Enoshima Electric Railway, also known as “Enoden”, running from Kamakura to Fujisawa.
There are many sightseeing spots along the tracks, such as the shrines and temples of Kamakura, as well as the Shonan Sea.

The railroad crossing in front of Kamakurakōkōmae Station is an iconic location from the anime Slam Dunk! I'm sure many people immediately think of the scene in the opening where Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko meet as soon as they see this place. As one of the classic locations from Slam Dunk, it's definitely worth making a special pilgrimage here!
The blue ocean is right next to the crossing, and with the Enoden train slowly passing by, the whole scene is filled with the youthful feeling of a Japanese anime, as if you've actually stepped into an animated world. There are also many visitors who come specifically to take photos. Everyone wants to capture the iconic moment when the train passes, and seeing this familiar scene in person is truly exciting!
A travel show is featuring sights in Kamakura〜
I still remember the streets of Koshigoe one summer a few years ago. The lively streets happened to be hosting Koyurugi Shrine’s annual summer festival, and residents dressed in traditional happi coats (festival clothing) held lanterns and traffic batons as they kept the neighborhood streets safe.
A retro green train slowly made its way through the narrow streets with its lights on, while modern transportation and the everyday traditions of a century-old shrine festival blended harmoniously here.
A delightful surprise on this trip was finding four little metal birds on a railing dressed in blue-and-white summer sweaters. This gentle tradition, quietly carried on by local residents, brought the journey to an incredibly heartwarming close.
When I arrived at Kamakurakōkōmae Station on the Enoden Line, the ocean view and train immediately caught my eye. This is an iconic scene from the Slam Dunk manga, and the familiar railroad crossing makes you feel like you've stepped into memories of your youth. With the blue sea and sky and the train slowly passing by, the whole scene feels both refreshing and romantic. While waiting by the crossing for the train to pass, skilled surfers would occasionally walk by, which was also quite a nice sight~
When I watched Slam Dunk as a kid, I never imagined that one day I'd be standing in front of this very scene! The railroad crossing by Kamakurakōkōmae Station on the Enoden Line has become an extremely popular pilgrimage spot because of the iconic scene from the anime. I came here especially to see it, and as the train slowly passed by and the sea breeze blew, it really felt like stepping into the manga. There were quite a few visitors, and everyone was waiting to capture the classic shot, but as a Slam Dunk fan, just being able to visit this place in person made it well worth it! So many childhood memories.
The railroad crossing in front of Kamakurakōkōmae Station on the Enoden Line is a must-visit pilgrimage spot for many Slam Dunk fans. Standing in front of the familiar scene really felt like stepping into the anime. I happened to see an Enoden train slowly passing by, and together with the ocean in the distance, the scene had a very youthful feel.
Being there in person felt even more special than I had imagined. Although it's just an ordinary railroad crossing, the anime has given it a unique charm. While waiting by the road for the train to pass, I couldn't resist pulling out my phone to capture the iconic scene. Unfortunately, I didn't get the train in the photo 🚂
