Shichirigahama High School — model for Minegahara Highschool model
model / inspiration
The Minegahara High attended by the protagonists is based on this public high school next to Shichirigahama Station, not on neighbouring Kamakura High. The surroundings of the gate match quite well, but the buildings are changed. The name probably comes from the Minegahara signal station between Kamakura-Kōkōmae and Shichirigahama. It is a working school: view it only from outside.
