Seina Kawashima’s Recommended Spots in Nishinomiya

First up is a spot recommended by Kawashima, who joined Nishinomiya last July!
Kawashima’s Recommendation No. 1: Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens

Kawashima says his recommended spot is “Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens”!
On his days off, he often goes window-shopping there by himself〜😆
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 14-2 Takamatsucho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Kawashima said he recently stopped by LOFT〜.

There’s always a line, but he also often eats at Daiki Suisan😋 Their sushi is so good, isn’t it〜.

He also has fond memories of dining at “IN THE GREEN -GARDENS-” when his mother and younger sister came to Nishinomiya!

They enjoyed Italian dishes like pizza〜🤗
With its spacious interior and views of the outdoor garden, it seems like the kind of place where conversation flows easily〜.
Yusuke Sugiyama’s Recommended Spots in Nishinomiya

Next up is a recommended spot from Sugiyama, who just joined Nishinomiya this February!
Sugiyama’s Recommendation No. 1: Nishinomiya Shrine

Sugiyama’s recommendation is Nishinomiya Shrine!!
He went there when his parents came to Nishinomiya😊
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1-17 Shakecho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

When he visited, he said he thought, “It’s really spacious!” He also made sure to properly pay his respects〜😉

What made him want to visit Nishinomiya Shrine was seeing the Fukuotoko race on TV!!

As he walked around, he thought, “This is the course everyone runs on!”🤗
The Fukuotoko race is featured on national news too, so it’s extremely well known〜.
