The other day, I visited a popular, old staion in my new district. It is almost twenty years ago when the station was closed because the line was discontinued. However, it is still popular and a lot of people visit there every year. The reason for the popularity is in its name. The station name "Kofuku" means happiness in Japanese. The small hut of the station, platform and a train car was displayed just the same as when it was used and some visitors were taking pictures when I visited. I think that the station itself has a taste of good old days and reminds us of a kind of nostalgic feeling. It might be the second reason why a lot of people still visit decades after it was closed.
