A new train station date spot has opened up in the Tottori Prefecture, Japan, in what used to be Koi-Yamagata Station. Since only about two passengers were passing through Koi-Yamagata every day, residents of the area decided to renovate this unused train station into a cute date spot.
The renovated designs include a bright pink paint job and decorative wooden hearts. In fact, pink permeates the new train station date spot, from the walls to the benches to the lamp posts. Even the railings are painted a vibrant, bubblegum pink. Above each bench, a series of red hearts are painted on the wall, making this an extremely happy-go-lucky romance spot.
Unfortunately, the train station has never had bathrooms, but once they’re installed, the Koi-Yamagata Station is sure to attract lovebirds from all over Japan.
