About 20 minutes by car from Nishinomiya, we found a spot you can visit not just on weekends, but even on weekdays.

This is an arched set of monkey bars in Shukugawa, though we’re not sure if it’s still there now. Cute. Photo from quite a while ago

The endlessly fun loop-style monkey bars at Otsuka Kita Park, almost like a giant roof ring. You can even see JR trains from there

What is with this length?!
This is another place that’s easiest to reach by car, so…

Here’s カルノリレンタカー, familiar to Nishitsu readers as a place where you can rent a car at low prices. It’s right near Hanshin-Kokudo Station.

The process takes only about 30 minutes!

For times like that, there’s カルノリレンタカー, collaborating with Nishitsu. At from 8,000 yen per week (tax not included, A Class), you can head out properly for the weekend.
So, with that said…
