Hankyu Railway
The torii gate on the roof of Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, seen from the pedestrian bridge to ACTA

Hankyu Railway
The stretch between Sakasegawa and Obayashi is way too long lol
Male, 40s
Hankyu Railway
Many of the cast members were actors from along the Hankyu Line, and the Kansai dialect was truly faithful. It was a work overflowing with love for the Hankyu Railway.
Male, 40s
Hankyu Railway
I like the story and background that feel very Nishinomiya.
Female, 50s
Hankyu Railway
Mana Ashida is so cute.
Female, 60 or older
Haruhi Suzumiya
Because my house appears in a few shots.
Male, 50s
Haruhi Suzumiya
The view looking down from the top of the hill is amazing.
Male, 40s
The Haruhi Suzumiya Series
It introduced Nishinomiya’s scenery to the entire world. Also, many of the creators were lost in that tragedy, and to honor their wishes, we need to cherish those landscapes together with the work as part of Nishinomiya’s heritage.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
The artwork is wonderful.
Male, 50s
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
The visuals are beautiful.
Male, 40s
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
The realism of the town.
Male, 40s
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Familiar townscapes and scenery appear in it, and when you actually go to the same places as in the anime, it feels like you’ve wandered into the world of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Male, 30s
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
It’s super local for me and I pass through there every day, but when I went on a proper anime pilgrimage, I was moved by how exactly the same it was as in the anime!
Female, 20s
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
The premise is interesting as sci-fi.
Male, 60 or older
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
It was my youth.
Male, 20s
Hear the Wind Sing
It might be tough for people under 50. Nishinomiya Stadium, the Muko River, and other places appear.
Male, 50s
She’s Rain
I don’t clearly remember the story itself, but a Western-style mansion in the Yamate residential area of Shukugawa, which was damaged in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and can no longer be seen, was used as a filming location. The footage feels both sad and nostalgic.
Female, 60 or older
Morning drama Jun-chan no Oenka
It was being rerun until just the other day. Tomoko Yamaguchi was young and cute.
Male, 60 or older
Touch
You can’t leave out Koshien Stadium! It’s the dream stage for high school baseball players.
Female, 40s
Dokaben
Everyone hasn’t noticed, right? lol
Male, 50s
Dokaben
The pinnacle of high school baseball anime.
Male, 40s
Hear the Wind Sing
Nishinomiya from the late 1970s, which can no longer be seen today, along with Ashiya and Kobe, is used as a filming location almost to excess.
Male, 50s
Movie “Hear the Wind Sing”
The now-gone Nishinomiya Stadium and Lisbon in Shukugawa appear in the film.

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto
I like how cool and stylish Sakamoto-kun is.

Maki-chan Nikki
My home is right near Shukugawa, and when I was in elementary school, I saw them filming early in the morning during summer vacation by the bridge closest to the river mouth. It was a scene where the main girl was reading a letter and Atsushi Watanabe was watching her from behind. It was the first time I had seen a TV drama being filmed, and I remember being pretty excited.

“Hear the Wind Sing”
The scenery of Nishinomiya from the early 1980s, which disappeared due to the earthquake and redevelopment, is captured on film, including “Nishinomiya Stadium” before it was renamed, and the restaurant “Lisbon” along National Route 2. It’s scenery that director Kazuki Omori and original author Haruki Murakami probably saw as well.
Male, 60 or older
Hear the Wind Sing
Based on Haruki Murakami’s novel. Filming locations in Nishinomiya and the Hanshinkan area. You can see nostalgic scenery of Nishinomiya. The performances by young Kaoru Kobayashi, Shigeru Muroi, and others have great character.
Male, 50s
ROOKIES
I didn’t notice at the time, but it was full of famous actors!
Female, 20s
Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto
I graduated from Naruo Kita Elementary School, Gakubun Junior High School, and Naruo High School, and since I live in Koshien, the area around me is full of sacred spots. As for the story itself… “?” I guess?
