The video is titled "Kofuku Station, a Holy Space for Lovers" (幸福の駅 恋人の聖地 Happy station A sweetheart's holy place).
Aikoku Station (愛国駅) and Kofuku Station (幸福駅) on the former Japan National Railways' Hiroo Line are popular stations that have become nationwide trends.

More About Kofuku Station, a Holy Space for Lovers in Hokkaido!
Kofuku Station is a station on the Hiroo Line of the Japan National Railways that used to exist in the town of Kofuku (幸福町, Kofuku-Cho), Obihiro City (帯広市, Obihiro-Shi), Hokkaido.
The popularity of this station has exploded since 1973, when it was featured in NHK TV program "Shin-Nihon-Kiko" (A Travelogue for New Japan) and used as a filming location for a TV drama with the catchphrase "From the Land of Love to Kofuku."
It's said that buying a ticket at this station would bring love and happiness and because of this the station sold 13 million tickets.
Unfortunately, Kofuku station closed on February 2, 1987, when the Hiroo Line was discontinued.
Since the Hiroo Line was discontinued, Kofuku Station has become a railroad park and Aikoku Station was turned into a transportation memorial hall.
Both have become popular tourist destinations.
