Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Kamakura manhole cover

Thu, October 1, 2015, by Muza-chan
This artistic manhole cover from Kamakura features three of the city's symbols: the gentian, which is the city flower, yamazakura, the city tree, and the train station.

The Kamakura Station was opened in 1889, only 17 years after the first train line was inaugurated in Japan, on the line connecting Ōfuna and Yokosuka (which at the time was an important navy base). The today's station building was rebuilt in 1984, but preserves a style reminding of the old times.
