Kamakura-Kōkō-Mae (鎌倉高校前駅) is an unmanned station in Kamakura, Kanagawa. Though small in size, it is known for its scenic beauty it commands from the station platform, with an open view of the ocean and Mt Fuji afar. It was selected as one of the "100 Top Station in the Kanto Region" (Kanto no eki 100 sen) by a selection committee commissioned by the ministry of transport in 1998.
