I visited Kofuku Station in Obihiro City!💖
The station opened in 1956 (Showa 31) and was closed in 1987 (Showa 62) when the Hiroo Line was discontinued.
Along with Aikoku Station, Kofuku Station became famous for the slogan “From the Land of Love to Kofuku (Happiness).”💓
The station building and a train remain as they were, and many pink tickets marked “Bound for Kofuku” are pasted around the site, so you can feel the old atmosphere and a sense of happiness.🥰
Be sure to visit!

The famous “Kofuku Station” in Obihiro, Hokkaido.💖
It opened in 1956 and closed in 1987 when the Hiroo Line was discontinued.
Back then, the route from Aikoku Station to Kofuku Station carried the meaning “From the Land of Love to Kofuku,” which made both stations famous as Aikoku Station and Kofuku Station.💓
Today Kofuku Station preserves the station and train as they were, and pink “Bound for Kofuku” tickets cover the station building, so you can deeply feel the atmosphere of the old station and a sense of happiness.🥰

Tokachigawa Onsen is home to a rare peat-based hot spring in Japan known as a moor spring.
A moor spring is an alkaline hot spring that contains humic substances derived from lignite (sub-bituminous coal), so named because its effects are similar to those of moor baths. Compared with ordinary mineral springs, this type of spring is unusually rare worldwide, making it a precious resource with limited supply.
An authentic sample of lignite is on display at the Tokachigawa Onsen Association, so please come and see it!
