SPOT
Aikoku Station became famous with the catchphrase "From the Land of Love to Happiness" on the former Hiroo Line of Japan National Railways, which was closed down. The station is now used as a transportation museum, displaying tickets, panels, and a steam locomotive (SL) that was used at the time. The monument in front of the station building in the shape of a "Kofuku-yuki" ticket is a great photo spot.
