The area around Naruo Station has changed a lot over the past few years✨
So let’s take a look at what earned the award this time♪
From the Nishi2 article “A plaza/park with a stage has been built south of Naruo Station”
Is Naruo the only station-front area in Nishinomiya with a mini stage?? Maybe?? Maybe.
The art box next to the stage. It lights up at nightーーー!
Works created by students from Mukogawa Women’s University are on display.
In 2019, the same year the stage was built, Lavy’s Cafe opened inside the station. The little black bunny is Lavy, the character of Mukogawa Women’s University.
It’s Minato Bank, but… there are students inside?
This is called “Shiru Cafe.” Apparently, drinks are free for university students! That’s seriously great!!!
They open up the lobby outside regular bank counter hours, turning it into a place where students and companies can interact.
The award winners this time were Mukogawa Gakuin Educational Foundation, Hanshin Electric Railway, and the Naruo Area Management Liaison Council! Congratulations!
We’ll keep sharing updates as Naruo and the rest of Nishinomiya continue to become even nicer places!
