Sharing my Nihon anime pilgrimage experience: Slam Dunk Kamakura edition
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
Finally went to Kamakura last month, which I'd been longing for! My main goal was the pilgrimage site of Slam Dunk — the level crossing in front of Kamakura High School Station.
I was really moved when I got there. Even though I'd seen countless photos online before going, standing there in person, watching the train pass by, the OP automatically played in my head — it felt like everything returned to the days of chasing Slam Dunk as a kid.
Tips:
- It's much less crowded on weekdays; weekends are super busy
- 7-8am is the best time, great light and few people
- There's a small shop nearby selling Slam Dunk merchandise
- Remember to also take a walk along Shonan Beach, the scenery is beautiful
