Visit the happiest train station on earth!

Kofuku Station is a now-closed railway station in the City of Obihiro. Even after its closure as a working station, it remained a popular sightseeing place where visitors come to wish for good luck as ‘Kofuku’ literally means ‘Happiness’ in Japanese.

Before the rail track was abolished, the train ride between Kofuku Station and Aikoku (meaning “country of love”) Station on this line was an extremely popular ride to take.

At the site, visitors can purchase a big train ticket which has a message ‘Bound for Happiness’ printed on it as a souvenir. Make sure to ring the Happy Bell for extra good luck!
