If you’re visiting Hokkaido this fall check out Kofuku Train Station 幸福駅 which is located 30 minutes south of the city of  Obihiro 帯広  in Tokachi 十勝支庁  sub prefecture. The name Kofuku means ‘Happiness’ and although the JNR Hiroo railway line does not run there anymore (it did from 1956-1987), the single building railway station, sign and train remain as tourist attractions for the city especially as a “lucky” location for weddings and a place to buy  “good luck tickets” or stick up your happiness requests.
