Hankyu Bus
It looks like August 14 (Mon) and 15 (Tue) will follow the holiday (Sunday/holiday) schedule.
Hanshin Bus
It looks like August 14 (Mon) to 15 (Tue) will follow the weekend/holiday schedule.The official PDF says the 13th (Mon), but they probably meant the 14th (Mon).
However, during this period, the Koshien-Nishinomiya-kitaguchi Line will not operate.
Finally
Since the 14th is a Monday, you might assume it’s a weekday schedule and end up wondering why the bus never comes, so keep in mind that August 14 and 15 will be holiday schedules.
