Photograph the Enoshima Electric Railway running against the ocean backdrop at the famous railroad crossing
About this spot
A railroad crossing overlooking the ocean, famous worldwide as the setting for an anime. The Shonan sea spreads across the hillside ahead, and the moment the green and cream-colored Enoshima Electric Railway crosses is guaranteed to be picturesque. The platform at Kamakura High School Station itself faces the ocean directly—a spectacular view where even waiting for the next train becomes a special moment.
