Station Covered with Happy Tickets -Kofuku Station in Obihiro-
October 22nd, 2014
Kofuku Station (幸福駅) is a former station in Kofuku-cho, Obihiro city. Because this is a lucky station name (kofuku means happiness in Japanese language), people became popular to get a ticket with its station name. Particularly, by slogans "From Country of Love to Happiness (愛の国から幸福へ)" created in 1973, the tickets from Aikoku station (愛国駅) (Aikoku means Country of Love in Japanese language) to Kofuku station became very popular. However, Hiroo Line (広尾線) was abolished for money-losing routes. Although the Kofuku station was closed down, a station building was stored.
The Kofuku Station change to a sightseeing spot, and the station building, a platform and a train have left now. Tourists can go in and out freely. A big ticket is sold at a stall nearby the station, and it seems to be popular that the tourists put it on the station building. Both the outside and the inside of the station building are filled with the tickets. In addition, this place is called a sacred place for couples (カップルの聖地), and a bell of the love (愛の鐘) is built. It is said that the tourists will be happy when the tourists ring the bell. Kofuku Station Happy Ceremony (幸福駅ハッピーセレモニー) is carried out, too. If a pair of couple make a reservation beforehand and pay JPY 3,000, the couple can experience a mini-wedding ceremony. A pair of married couple seem to participate it to remembers old days.
