Negotiations are underway for a romantic tie-up between two train stations with fun names.

Trains don't run between them, but there is a certain dreamy connection between Kofuku (happiness) in Obihiro, Hokkaido, and a station in Hexing, Taiwan, that is locally known as "Love."

Kofuku Station, a stop on the now-defunct Japanese National Railways' Hiroo Line between Obihiro and Hiroo, opened in 1956. An adjacent station is named Aikoku (country of love).
