Kamakura is home to dozens of temples, making it a Buddhist capital. The most famous of these is Kotoku-in Temple, home to the renowned Great Buddha of Kamakura. Get off at Hase Station and walk about ten minutes to reach Kotoku-in Temple. Entrance fee: 200 yen. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by the Great Buddha of Kamakura. A National Treasure of Japan, it's a major tourist attraction in Kamakura, attracting a constant stream of visitors year-round. Including its pedestal, the statue stands 13.35 meters tall. Made of bronze, it's centuries old. Circling the statue, you'll find a small door that allows you to enter and observe its inner workings. The Great Buddha of Kamakura was originally housed in the Great Buddha Hall, but it became an open-air statue after the hall collapsed due to typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Furthermore, when it was first built, it was covered in gold leaf, though only a small amount remains today.

The back view of Sakuragi Hanamichi after school was taken towards the sea, so countless "Slam Dunk fans" come to Kamakura Seaside Boulevard, and their eyes are only on the coastline scenery. In fact, if you can slow down and look back at the other side of the seaside boulevard, it is also very beautiful. Especially the small wooden buildings with unique shapes and colorful colors are exactly the same as in the anime.

When you come to Kamakura, Komachi Street is a must-visit food street. There are indeed some things you can't eat in other places, such as "Buddha head" and so on. Some introductions will list it as a commercial street and compare it with Tokyo Ginza and Osaka Shinsaibashi. In fact, these three places are completely different concepts and there are still big differences. Komachi Street is very narrow, but it is relatively long. If you don't eat, it's quite monotonous to walk around. Machi means place, and Tong means connecting several lively places.

It was really beautiful under the setting sun, so this was also the benefit of going back from the end point. When I saw the coast of Shichirigahama, I felt a sense of déjà vu. After I came back, I remembered that this was the invasion! Isn’t it a scene from the Squid Girl comics?
