One of the three Jizo statues that bring good luck on entrance exams!

On November 12th, 2020, with the opening of nearby Kadode Station, its name was changed from “Goka Station” to “Gokaku Station”. A Jizo statue with a gentle face is enshrined inside the station. Along with Higiri Jizo and Suberazu Jizo, the station became an essential spot for praying academic success!

A notebook in the station. Visitors on Gokaku Station write down their thoughts and dreams about success. You can’t help but read it.

Notes
・The local “Team Omoshiro Goka Station” has long worked for promoting the town. They could finally change the station name. If you visit this station before the entrance exams, you will surely pass the tests.
・On November 12th, 2020, the name was changed to create an effectiveness in the town. The change was arranged with the opening of Kadode Station, a station before Gokaku. As a result, the “Higiri”, “Gokaku” and “Kadode” stations on railway became connected spots for academic success.
