[edit] Station name

On April 2, 2001, the station originally called Furue Station was renamed to the present long name as the Louis C. Tiffany Garden Museum, a museum for the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, was to open in front of the station. The museum opened on April 28, 2001. As of April 2007, this station name, which consists of 18 letters and punctuation marks and is written with 23 kana (both countings exclude eki or "Station"), is the longest in Japan. The second-longest station name in Japan is currently Minami Aso Mizu-no Umareru Sato Hakusui Kōgen Station on the Minami Aso Railway in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Although the museum closed on March 31, 2007, the railway company announced that it would not change the station name "for the time being".^[1]
