According to the City News↓

It looks like the park facilities are being renovated because they have aged and to improve accessibility!
Overview↓
Apparently, the “Pudding Mountain” is going to be removed. Or rather, I didn’t know it was called Pudding Mountain. That mountain-shaped playground equipment.
What the Work at Yatsumatsu Park Looks Like
Here’s how it looks now. The whole park is surrounded by fencing!
Rather than just working on some of the playground equipment, it seems like the entire park is being renovated!
The Gimin Monument at Yatsumatsu Park
In parks and temples around the Naruo area, there are stone monuments called “Gimin-hi” (monuments to righteous villagers), and Yatsumatsu Park has a “Gimin Kenshohi” commemorative monument.
In 1591, a severe drought occurred, leading to disputes between villages over water. Many villagers were sentenced to death after being held responsible.
In the Showa era, stone monuments were erected to honor those villagers as “gimin,” or righteous people.
For more details about “Gimin-hi,” we covered it in a past article↓
Here is the map for Yatsumatsu Park↓
The address is 11-12 Koshien Rokubancho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Finally
Will the mountain-shaped playground equipment that was in the middle be completely renewed too??
I’m looking forward to seeing what the renovated park will be like 😊♪
Twilight, thank you for the information!!
