Over the past year, we’ve written articles on all kinds of topics around Nishinomiya. Among them, there were probably quite a few silly stories and bits of trivia that may not have been especially useful.

Since we have them, we thought we’d put together those trivia-style articles as “Nishinomiya Trivia” (that takes me back…).
