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

I've been to this level crossing twice, and it’s always so moving. Here’s a tip: nearby Enoshima is also well worth a visit; it even appeared in Slam Dunk. You can easily visit both places in one day.

Although I'm mainly a Gundam fan, the Slam Dunk pilgrimage site in Kamakura is a must-visit. That scene is just too iconic. Has anyone been to the life-sized Gundam in Odaiba? That counts as a pilgrimage site too!

After I visited Kamakura last time, I continued on to Hakone (the holy land of EVA), which I highly recommend! You can combine both places into a two-day, one-night itinerary.
