2026.02.03Directed by Travel Insider Jay

Fans are buzzing about 'Can This Love Be Translated?', a magical romance about two people overcoming language barriers, set against the picturesque scenery of Kamakura, Japan. This coastal town, a short hop from Tokyo, is known for its enchanting vibe and has played backdrop to many famous productions. Ahead of its 2026 release, WAUG offers an exclusive peek at three pivotal filming locations where the lead characters' emotions really shine.

01. Gokurakuji Station: Where Time Slows Down

Gokurakuji Station, with its red postbox and classic wooden structure, exudes a warm atmosphere, appearing in scenes where Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung wait for each other or unexpectedly meet. Recognized as one of the top 100 most beautiful stations in the Kanto region, this quaint station symbolizes the moment when top star Go Youn-jung steps into the humble world of translator Kim Seon-ho. Waiting for the Enoden train on the small bench in front of the station, you might just feel like you've stepped into the drama yourself.

02. Shichirigahama High School Crossing: A Romantic Road Facing the Sea

The area around Shichirigahama High School Crossing, already famous as the setting for 'Slam Dunk,' is where the two characters filmed their sweet date scenes. The moment the Enoden train runs parallel to the sea, with the two actors looking at each other from across the barrier, is considered one of the best scenes in the series. The sight of the protagonists walking along the railway against the backdrop of the sparkling sea conveys a visual language more powerful than words.

03. Oiwayamamichi: A Mysterious Promenade Overlooking the Town

Oiwayamamichi, a hidden scenic spot in Kamakura, is a hilltop promenade offering panoramic views of the entire town and coastline. It served as the backdrop for scenes where the two main characters sort out their complicated feelings or have deep conversations. The sight of Kamakura's charming rooftops and the distant horizon provides the perfect place for love to blossom. Slightly off the beaten tourist path, it's a hidden gem where you can listen to the sound of the waves, just like the characters in the drama.
