We Travel Because of Our Favourite K-Dramas
Let’s be real — sometimes, it only takes one scene to make us fall in love with a place.
A quiet train platform. A seaside walk. A humble ramen shop. And suddenly, Japan isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling we want to experience for ourselves.
In Can This Love Be Translated?, many of the Japan scenes were filmed around Enoshima Island and Kamakura, two coastal areas in Kanagawa Prefecture known for their relaxed pace and scenic views.
These locations aren’t over-the-top tourist spots — they’re everyday places that feel intimate, calm, and beautifully real.
If you’ve been wondering where those memorable scenes were filmed, here’s a guide to the key Japan filming locations — plus how to get there with 1-day guide.
How to Get From Tokyo to Kamakura & Around
Most filming locations are in Kanagawa Prefecture, clustered around Enoshima Island and Kamakura, making them ideal for a relaxed day trip from Tokyo.
- From Tokyo: Take the JR or Odakyu Line to Fujisawa Station, then transfer to the Enoden Line
- Getting around: The Enoden Line connects Kamakura, Gokurakuji, and Enoshima — while many spots near Enoshima Island are walkable.
Take it slow, follow the coastline, and let the journey feel just as meaningful as the destination.

One of the most recognisable filming spots in the series, Gokurakuji Station sets the tone with its nostalgic, old-school charm.
This small wooden station along the Enoden Line feels frozen in time, making it a perfect backdrop for quiet, emotional moments in the drama.
How to get there:
Take the Enoden Line and get off at Gokurakuji Station. It’s just a few stops from Kamakura Station or Enoshima.

In Can This Love Be Translated?, this location appears as a cosy ramen shop often referred to by fans as Momo-chan Ramen.
However, in real life, the filming spot is actually tenzan lab., a sweet shop and café, not a ramen restaurant.
Located near Enoshima, tenzan lab. is known for its desserts and relaxed neighbourhood vibe.
While the menu may be different from what you see on screen, visiting the real location is still a must for fans who want to stand exactly where the scene was filmed — and enjoy a sweet treat while you’re at it.
How to get there:
From Katase-Enoshima Station, walk for about 15 minutes toward the Enoshima area.
It’s easy to combine this stop with a visit to Enoshima Benzaiten Nakamise Dori and nearby coastal spots.

This lively shopping street appears in strolling scenes and transitions, capturing the energy of Enoshima’s entrance area. Lined with souvenir shops and street food stalls, it’s where the island starts to feel alive.
Walking through Benzaiten Nakamise Dori is part of the Enoshima experience — whether you’re snacking, shopping, or just taking photos where the drama was filmed.
How to get there:
Walk from Katase-Enoshima Station, cross the bridge to Enoshima Island, and you’ll reach Nakamise Dori at the base of the island.
4. Goryo Shrine

Quiet, spiritual, and tucked away from the crowds, Goryo Shrine appears in reflective scenes that match the drama’s emotional tone. It’s a place that naturally invites pause and introspection.
Located in Kamakura, the shrine is known for its low-key atmosphere and tram tracks running nearby — a unique visual that drama fans will instantly recognise.
How to get there:
Take the Enoden Line and get off at Hase Station (5 min walk) or Gokurakuji Station (10 min walk).
5. Katase Fishing Port

The coastal scenes filmed at Katase Fishing Port showcase a calmer, everyday side of seaside life. With fishing boats, open skies, and ocean views, it’s the kind of location that feels quietly cinematic without trying too hard.
This area is less crowded than Enoshima’s main attractions, making it a great spot to enjoy the sea breeze and recreate filming moments without the rush.
How to get there:
From Katase-Enoshima Station, walk toward the coastline — the port is easily reachable on foot.
6. Tanaka Barber Shop

A classic neighbourhood barber shop, this filming location adds texture to the drama’s portrayal of daily life in Japan.
Located in Kamakura, the shop blends naturally into its surroundings — don’t expect a flashy sign, just a genuine local spot that fans will recognise.
How to get there:
Best reached on foot from nearby Enoden Line stations. It's 2 min walk from Hase Station.
7. Enoshima Sea Candle

Standing tall above the island, the Enoshima Sea Candle is one of the most iconic landmarks featured in the series. Scenes filmed here take advantage of the panoramic ocean views, especially during golden hour.
From the observation deck, you can see Sagami Bay stretching into the distance — and on clear days, even Mount Fuji. It’s a perfect final stop to end your filming-location journey.
How to get there:
Walk up Enoshima Island via Benzaiten Nakamise Dori. Escalators and lifts are available to make the climb easier.
