When planning my itinerary with Hsien, I kept insisting on visiting the Great Buddha. Every time my friends talked about their trip to Kamakura’s Enoshima, they would mention this must-visit Kamakura tourist spot, the “Kamakura Great Buddha” at Kōtoku-in Temple. Without visiting the Kamakura Great Buddha, it’s like not crossing paths with the basketball team in Slam Dunk at Kamakura High School. You can’t say you’ve been to Kamakura!
This 13-meter-tall giant bronze Buddha statue can be traced back to the Kamakura era of 1252 AD and is one of the important national treasures of Japanese history and culture. When visiting the Kamakura Great Buddha for a pilgrimage, it was three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun in Tokyo was about to enter the sunset. The Kamakura Great Buddha was very solemn and sacred in the sunshine, and I really like the series of photos I took with the Great Buddha.
A must-visit hidden gem for a one-day trip in Kamakura is the Kamakura High School Front Level Crossing (Slam Dunk Level Crossing), which is the iconic level crossing where Sakuragi and Haruko meet in the opening song of Slam Dunk. Every year, it attracts millions of Slam Dunk fans from all over the world. “Coach, I want to play basketball!” and “I’m a genius!” These two classic lines spoken by Sakuragi Hanamichi are unforgettable for every boy who loves to play basketball. When you visit Shonan Enoshima, you cannot miss the Kamakura High School Front Level Crossing, which is the perfect spot for Slam Dunk fans to take photos and leave their memories as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Haruko.
I have compiled information on transportation options to Kamakura High School Front, accommodation suggestions, and the best times to take photos. I hope every Slam Dunk fan can capture their own classic photos and memories at this level crossing!
