It looks like the trading card shop “竜星の嵐っぽ Nishinomiya” along the Nakatsuhama Line will be closing as of today.
【重要なお知らせ】
突然ですが、

Here it is on the map↓
The address is 30-15 Takagihigashimachi, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
Around 竜星の嵐っぽ
Across the street is Kobe Rental, which rents welfare equipment.
If you go this way, you’ll find Pet Mate, Yamaya liquor store, Sports Dome Kawaragi, and farther along, Aeon and Chuo Hospital, leading toward Route 171.
In the opposite direction, there’s Gusto, the Hankyu train depot, and a railroad crossing, leading toward the Yamate Kansen area where McDonald’s is on the corner.
Lastly
Since today is their final day of business, they will apparently be buying and selling as usual.
From late May to mid-June, 竜星の嵐っぽ is apparently set to open a new location in Osaka. The Nishinomiya shop will be absorbed into that location.
Even so, this means the shop will be gone from Nishinomiya. For generations who respond strongly to keywords like “Duel Masters, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon cards,” this may come as quite a shock.
