Keikyu Kamata No. 1 Crossing on the First Keihin Line (National Route 15) is famous for being a place where runners are held up during the annual Hakone Ekiden race held during the New Year holidays. Due to the elevated track, it was closed with the last train on October 20, 2012. The up line was elevated (2F) in May 2010, so basically only down trains passed through it, except for the Airport Express bound for Yokohama. The last train going down was a Keikyu train, but the last up train and its return train (the last train passing through the crossing) were Toei Asakusa Line trains.
