Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi has ranked No. 1 for 9 consecutive years. We’d love to celebrate if it hits 10 years in a row next year.
Here are some of the reasons it took 1st place.
・ It has great transportation access, is convenient for shopping, and also has lots of nature. (30s, family of 3)
・ It’s convenient because department stores, hospitals, and other places are close enough to reach on foot. It’s also convenient that you can use three train lines.
It’s quiet and has a nice environment. (50s, family of 2)
・ It has great transportation access and is a stylish town centered around Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens. (60s, family of 2)
It’s in a location where you can get to both Osaka and Kobe quickly. And with Hyogo Prefecture’s largest MUJI recently opening there too, Gardens is just too strong.
Oh, right.
If you look at the top 30 in this ranking,
three stations in Nishinomiya City made the list.
First, this one ↓
Hankyu Shukugawa Station
14th→8th
It moved up 6 spots!!
Next is this one ↓
JR Nishinomiya Station
23rd→14th
JR Nishinomiya jumped up 9 spots. It’s rising fast!!
Finally
JR Nishinomiya Station is undergoing redevelopment, so it may become even more convenient and climb higher in the rankings.
