Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at store openings and closings in Nishinomiya, hot topics, and other stories covered this week (4/9-4/15) on “Nishi2 (Nishinomiya Tsushin)”!
From April 6 to 12, “Nishinomiya Machiaruki” was held at Nishinomiya Hankyu. Lots of Nishinomiya shops had booths there, including “Toshinobu-san Chi no Kona,” a takoyaki flour specialty shop from the former “OMOM’S KITCHEN,” which closed a year ago♪
Fitness playground equipment has been installed in Nishinomiyahama. It’s lined up along the seaside on the north side. You might find yourself wanting to try it out.

Something That Changed at Nishi2 This Week
This update comes from 
.
There’s one item this week.
Who exactly is Aocchi?
This week, we’re taking a closer look at “Aocchi,” the new member who joined Nishi2 that we introduced last week!
By the way → List of articles written by Aocchi
Here she is↓
Aocchi is a rare type who likes insects even though she’s a girl (is that wording a bit iffy these days?). When we asked, “We did insect eating on Nishi2 before. Want to try it?” she answered in a split second, “Absolutely not.” Seriously, it was like a fraction of a second. lol
So this summer, the Nishi2 members will be having a cicada-catching contest. We might do other insects too. Of course, we’ll turn it into an article.
With that, we’re still looking forward to your Nishinomiya tips through our information submission form, LINE, and Instagram!
