An iconic railroad crossing in Kamakura, featured prominently in the popular manga and anime series "Slam Dunk," has become a prominent tourist destination. Fans of the series from all over the world flock to visit and photograph the site, which has led to an increase in local tourism and business. However, it has also raised concerns about safety and crowd control in this area.
In Japan, manga and anime are deeply ingrained in the culture and landmarks or locations featured in popular series often become tourist destinations. However, with this popularity comes challenges. Local agencies need to manage the influx of visitors, ensuring safety and minimally disrupting the lives of the local community.
In the U.S. or EU, locations from popular movies or TV series also become tourist sites. Problems like crowd management and safety are similar, though the scale may be higher in Japan due to the immense popularity of manga and anime.
