Trying to find a small town in Russia that looks Japanese (saw it on TikTok)

A few months ago I saw a TikTok along the lines of “there’s a place in Russia that feels straight out of an anime.” It showed a small coastal town that looked almost exactly like Kamakura, Japan hills coming down into the water and a train station that was basically right on the water.

Details I remember:

**•**	Didn’t look industrial or Soviet at all genuinely looked Japanese in layout and architecture

**•**	Small town, not a city

**•**	I confirmed it was in Russia (looked it up on Google Maps at the time)

**•**	I have a feeling it might be somewhere in the north, but I’m not 100% sure

I’ve been guessing places like Sakhalin (Kholmsk, Nevelsk) since that region was Japanese territory before 1945, but I haven’t been able to confirm it’s the right one. Does this description match any specific town you know of? Any leads appreciated!
