Can This Love Be Translated Japan Filming Spots by Enoden

Can This Love Be Translated? Japan Filming Locations, Mapped Along the Enoden Line

The 11 Japan filming spots for Can This Love Be Translated? are easiest in one day if you split them into Enoden station stops and walking legs inside Enoshima.

You can cover most of the Can This Love Be Translated? Japan filming locations in a single day by riding the Enoden between Kamakura and Enoshima. Once you are there, though, some spots sit right by a station while others need a walk up the island's slopes, so following the scenes in story order tends to tangle your route.

That is why this list groups the 11 spots by how you actually get there, not by scene order. We cross-checked filming facts and locations against local guides and tourism materials, then ranked them by separating places near Enoden stations from those reachable only on foot. Gokurakuji, Hase, and Inamuragasaki connect straight from stations, while the inside of Enoshima starts on foot from the island entrance.

How to read this list

If it is your first visit, board the Enoden and work down from rank 1.
If your legs are tired, treat the island-interior spots at ranks 5, 7, and 10 as optional.
Crossings and shrines are real operating and worship spaces, so safety comes first.

Details are current as of September 2026 and may change.

Gokurakuji Station

This small Enoden stop appears in the episode-one scene where the two leads pass each other without realizing it. The wooden-style station sits among houses, so it feels more like a neighborhood stop than a tourist site. A one-day Enoden pass makes hopping on and off here easy. The platform and tracks are a working line, so shoot from behind the yellow safety line, and check fares on the official site as of September 2026.

Tenzan Rabu Area

Said to be the backdrop for the ramen shop exterior in the show, the real spot is around a dessert café on an Enoshima side street. It is a walk from Enoshima Station, so it pairs easily with the island's other locations on one route. Opening hours and menus can change, so check official channels before you go. Rather than queuing long in front of a sign, keep your stay short so you do not block the narrow lane.

Enoshima Benzaiten Nakamise-dori

This is Enoshima's main shopping street, where the scene of a character running with a child in their arms was shot. It starts as an uphill road once you cross the bridge from Enoshima Station, lined with souvenir and snack shops. By day it is crowded, so recreating the run is unrealistic and walking with the flow is safer. For a quieter frame, go early. Individual shop hours may differ as of September 2026.

In Front of Enoshima Post Office

Seen in the scene of the two leads wandering the back streets, this is a real post office a bit further in from Nakamise-dori. No train reaches it, so you walk, and the surroundings are narrow lanes where locals live. The post office is still in operation, so do not block the entrance or put staff and visitors in your shots. It works best as a brief stop on the way to the next location.

Oiwayamichi Street

This is the backdrop for the scene of a character racing off to return a phone, a sloped and stepped path leading toward the Iwaya Caves. The Enoden does not run into this part of Enoshima, so you can only get here on foot and should leave plenty of time for the round trip. Comfortable shoes are a must, and in summer bring water. If your legs are tired, walk a short stretch and turn back. Check local notices for whether nearby facilities are open.

Goryo Shrine

This shrine is known for the iconic shot of an Enoden train passing in front of its white torii gate. It is a short walk from Koshigoe Station, which makes it easy to fit into a route along the line. However, entering the railway crossing to take photos is prohibited. Shoot from the designated sidewalk or viewing area without blocking trains or worshippers. Train timetables may change as of September 2026, so check them beforehand.

Near Miharashitei

This is the sea-and-cliff view on Enoshima's southwest side, seen when the two leads tour the island. It takes a long climb of stairs and slopes from Enoshima Station, so calculate your round-trip time generously. Because the view opens onto the sea, the mood changes a lot with the weather and wind. On a tight day, do not leave it for last. Work backward from the last Enoden train and keep some slack.

Katase Fishing Port White Lighthouse

The backdrop for the bench scene looking out to sea is this white lighthouse on a working fishing-port breakwater across from Enoshima. You reach it on foot from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Line, not the Enoden, so the lines are easy to confuse. Confirm which station to get off at before you leave. The port is also a workplace, so stay away from boats and gear, and watch for waves and wind on the breakwater.

Crossing Near Hase Station

This is the real railway crossing where a passing train briefly hides one of the leads from view. It is within walking distance of Enoden's Hase Station, so it fits easily into a stroll around Hase. Stepping toward the tracks to catch the train is dangerous, so check the timetable and intervals first and wait behind the safety line. Once the barrier comes down, the crossing is a passage zone, so leave the tripod at home.

Enoshima Sea Candle

This paid observation facility inside the Samuel Cocking Garden is where a character climbs to look for someone. It sits about a 20-minute walk from Enoshima Station, deep on the island, so build the round trip into your schedule. Admission and hours may differ as of September 2026, so check official information. Fix the last Enoden train time first, then count backward to decide when to head back, and the day stays manageable.

Inamuragasaki Park

This seaside park is the backdrop for a scene that runs along the Shonan coast. It is a direct walk from Enoden's Inamuragasaki Station, which makes it a natural last stop on the line. How much of Enoshima and Mt. Fuji you can see depends on weather and time of day, so keep your expectations flexible. Around sunset it can turn cold and dark, so bring a jacket. Follow posted park rules on site.

How to choose

If this is your first trip, start at rank 1, Gokurakuji Station, and line up the spots on the Enoden route first: rank 6 Goryo Shrine, rank 9 the crossing near Hase Station, and rank 11 Inamuragasaki Park. The walking is short, so the day stays light. To see the interior of Enoshima, link rank 3 Nakamise-dori with ranks 2 and 4 in one route, and head into ranks 5, 7, and 10 only if you still have energy and time.

When comparing, look at three things: whether it is right by an Enoden station, whether it involves stairs and slopes, and whether it is a working or residential space that limits filming. Rank 8, Katase Fishing Port, is on the Odakyu Line side, so check that route separately. Details reflect the time of research and may change, so confirm with official channels before you visit.

Frequently asked questions

What's the easiest way to ride the Enoden?

If you are hopping on and off between Kamakura and Enoshima several times, a one-day Enoden pass is often better value than single tickets. Check the Enoden official site on the day of your visit for current fares and where to buy one.

Can I take photos at the railway crossing or in front of the shrine torii?

Even at a spot like Goryo Shrine, known for the shot of a train passing its white torii, stepping inside the railway crossing to shoot is prohibited. Shoot from the designated sidewalk or viewing area, without blocking trains or worshippers.

Can you see Kamakura and Enoshima in one day?

The stations along the Enoden line can be grouped into one day, but a round trip out to island viewpoints like Miharashitei or the Enoshima Sea Candle adds a lot of stairs and walking. On a one-day schedule, narrow your list or build in generous buffer time.

Can I get to the Katase fishing port white lighthouse by Enoden?

No. Rank 8, Katase Fishing Port, is a walk from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Line, not an Enoden stop. Before you leave, confirm which line and which station to get off at.

Can I take a train to the filming spots inside Enoshima?

No train reaches the inside of Enoshima, so you walk in from the island entrance. Oiwayamichi Street, Miharashitei, and the Sea Candle involve stairs and slopes, so count the round trip and the last Enoden train together.
