An event where you can learn about the beginnings of Hankyu Railway will be held at Nishinomiya Hankyu.

Here it is ↓
It’s a nostalgic poster exhibition.
It looks like they’ll be displaying posters from quite far back in the Showa era, including Nishinomiya Stadium and Nigawa Picnic Center.
This time, the theme is “Ichizo Kobayashi and Nishinomiya.”
A lecture will be held at Nishinomiya Hankyu on October 20, where you can learn how Hankyu Railway and Hankyu Department Store came to be.
It sounds like you’ll be able to hear stories about Ichizo Kobayashi, the man who created Hankyu Railway. Applications here appear to open at 10:00 on October 4.

I’m sure many people feel nostalgic about places like Hankyu Nishinomiya Stadium.
Finally
There’s just something about old posters and advertisements that makes you want to stare at them for ages, isn’t there? The connection between Ichizo Kobayashi, who helped shape Nishinomiya and Hankyu, is definitely intriguing. Personally, this is an event I’d love to go to~
