Located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kamakura was once the capital of Japan during the reign of the Kamakura Shogunate. Long after the dissolution of the shogunate, it remained a highly populated city and a tourist draw with its many notable monuments and shrines.
By the year 2278, Kamakura has been left to return to nature's embrace much like many other coastal cities around it. Constant kaiju attacks from the sea have driven the population further inland to other prefectures. One kaiju attack left a large chunk of the city to sink into the ocean from Yuigahama up to the Komachi shopping district. With much of the city sunken, the Yokosuka Rail Line was destroyed and thus train access is currently limited. Enoshima Island, once visible from Yuigahama, is notably missing its previously famous Sky Candle lighthouse if one observes it from Kamakura's hills.
Few residents remain in the more northern sections of the city and make their dwellings in the many hills that once made Kamakura a geographical fortress. Most of the buildings that haven't collapsed due to neglect or the ocean waves have been taken over by opportunistic plant life. The greater amount of water in the area has led to an abundance of amphibian life, turtles, and waterfowl. Foxes and tanuki can occasionally be spotted in the hills, but feral cat colonies are by far the most numerous and roaming packs of feral dogs can be seen at times.
