Kofuku Kotsu Park

This park, located in Obihiro City, Hokkaido is the Kofuku Station on the former Hiroo Line of the National Railway. Kofuku, meaning happiness, was in 1973 popularized as a 'sacred' lovers' site. In 1987 the line was closed, and the station was reborn as the Kofuku Kotsu Park. A wooden structure, used as the waiting room for the station, remains as a symbol of Kofuku Station. Its ceiling and walls are covered with pieces of paper memorializing past visitors. These are tickets, business cards or photos of visitors from all over. Located on the path between the platform and depot is a bell, popular with tourists, that is said to bring happiness for all who ring it.
