This is the Sankei Shimbun’s Hanshin Bureau, which isn’t one of the quiz choicesー😀
The brick-style building is the Asahi Shimbun’s Hanshin Bureau. It’s located just a little south of City Hall.

On the east side of Frente Nishinomiya, there’s the Yomiuri Shimbun’s Hanshin Bureau.
Are there so many Hanshin Bureaus in Nishinomiya because it’s home to the Hanshin Tigers??
By the way, the Mainichi Shimbun’s Hanshin Bureau wasn’t in Nishinomiyaー😭 It seems to be in Amagasaki.
So then. The newspaper with the most subscribers in Hyogo Prefecture is…
The answer is d. Kobe Shimbunーーーーーーー.
Its circulation is 442,365 copies! (Source: Newspaper Advertising | Local Papers and Block Papers | Media Value, based on the company’s own November 2021 data)
Here’s the breakdown♪
- Yomiuri Shimbun: 409,004 copies
- Asahi Shimbun: 275,218 copies
- Mainichi Shimbun: 111,544 copies
- Sankei Shimbun: 66,522 copies
- Nikkei Shimbun: 95,375 copies
Kobe Shimbun beating out the Yomiuri Shimbun for first place is pretty impressive.
The Kobe Shimbun Hanshin Printing Center is in Nishinomiyahama.
Not long ago, Kobe Shimbun investigated the mystery of Coop Koyoen, and they also have a Hanshin Bureau, so even though it’s called Kobe Shimbun, maybe it has deep ties to Nishinomiya?? Nishitsu-dori is hoping they’ll hurry up and change the name to Nishinomiya Shimbun.
