Will you be happy if you visit? What is the "Happy Station" that is still popular even after the line is closed? [Dropkick on My Devil x Mame Anime Collaboration (10)]

Let's take a closer look at the charms of each region of Hokkaido that was introduced in the currently airing anime "Dropkick on My Devil X Mame Anime (Hokkaido Edition)"! Let's take a look at the 10th episode that was just aired.

The "Koufuku Station" that appeared in the anime is located in Koufuku-cho, Obihiro City, and was once a station on the former Japanese National Railways' Hiroo Line, but ceased to function as a station when the line was discontinued in 1987. However, it had gained national popularity after being featured on an NHK program in 1973, and calls for the station to remain open were raised from all over the country.

So it was redeveloped as a tourist spot and got a new start as Happiness Station, bringing happiness to all who visit.

Also, there used to be a station called "Aikoku Station" two stations away, so a ticket called "From Aikoku to Happiness" became popular, and after the line was closed, miscellaneous goods that resembled the tickets became a hot topic. They still seem to be popular as souvenirs today.

The platform remains almost exactly as it was when it was in operation. Many people, not only train enthusiasts but also tourists, come here to take photos.

The "Bell of Happiness," which was also depicted in the anime, is said to bring happiness when rang gently. Try ringing the bell to pray for love!
