The “Nishitsu Survey (temp)(we may run another survey to decide this name too)” is a section where we turn “a quick question for readers + the results of the previous question” into an article 👏 Updated every Friday at 8:00 p.m.
(Hiratsu runs surveys too. This is a project inspired by Hirakata Tsushin.)
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.

The previous survey was
“If you were moving within Nishinomiya City, which area would you want to live in?”
Response period: October 1 to October 6
Number of responses: 165
From the question “Is there any survey topic you’d like us to ask Nishitsu readers?” we used survey ideas from “Nene-san” and “Hamaamu-san,” and received as many as 165 responses～Thank you
Now, let’s take a look at the results～(^o^)／
Survey results for “If you were moving within Nishinomiya City, which area would you want to live in?”

Shukugawa: It’s convenient and has lots of good restaurants and pretty shops. The streetscape is beautiful too.
Male, 40s
Around Shukugawa Station. My current living area is far from the Hankyu line, so I’d like to try living along Hankyu. I hear there are lots of stylish cafes and bakeries, so I’m jealous～(*^^*) I’d love to take walks along the Shukugawa River every day♪
Female, 30s
Shukugawa Station: It’s an upscale residential area but still convenient, and the river is close by, making it perfect for walking.
Female, 40s
The “Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi area”, ranked No. 1 for four straight years in SUUMO’s ranking of stations people want to live near, came in 2nd with 35 votes.
It has Gardens, it’s along the Hankyu line, and it feels upscale and convenient.
Male, 40s
The streetscape is beautiful. I especially like the brick sidewalks.
Male, 50s
It’s convenient for shopping because Gardens is there. The school district is good too.
Female, 30s
Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station! Because you can get to both Kobe and Osaka by train in about 15 minutes.
Female, 20s
In 3rd place, with 12 votes, was the Koshien / Hama-Koshien / Koshienhama area.
I’d love to live within walking distance of Koshien Stadium!! I want to go see lots of Hanshin games.
Female, 30s
It’s convenient for getting to Kobe and Umeda, and for shopping.
Male, 30s
If I were living with my family, this would be the area. The sea is close, so fishing is easy to enjoy, and there are sports parks and facilities. There are also plenty of options for shopping and eating out.
Male, 40s
The town is beautiful.
Female, 50s
It’s convenient for transportation and shopping.
Female, 40s
Koshien / Naruo area (I made up my own area). The roads are wide, there are roadside trees, and the streetscape is beautiful. I moved here from the Hankyu line area and really like it.
Female, 30s
In 4th place was the Koyoen / Kurakuen area.
The views seem nice.
Female, 30s
I want to live in an upscale residential area.
Female, 30s
I’ve heard from lots of people that public safety is much better there, and that it’s really good for raising children.
Male, 30s
In 5th place was the Mondoyakujin / Hinokuchi area.
I used to live there, and the environment was good and it was easy to live in. It was reasonably close to Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, close to the Mukogawa River, and nice and quiet.
Female, 50s
When I was a student, I commuted from Kobe to Mondoyakujin every day. Ever since then, I’ve loved the environment and atmosphere around Mondoyakujin!
