Masks are required at reception.
Habatan will be at Koshien Plaza, the starting point. Apparently, you can get a “Habatan badge” too～.
And at the goal, the “Sake Museum,” there will be a woodwind sextet concert and contemporary dance performance as a satellite venue for Sakagura Renaissance.
You can also get a nearby bus map that comes with two Hanshin Bus one-day ride tickets!
Finally
Since this walk takes you through familiar spots in Nishinomiya, it covers 10 km. It’s a decent distance, but it sounds interesting, with a mystery-solving quiz where you can learn about disaster preparedness, an introduction to the Shinkawa Floodgate at the Hanshin Minami Regional Disaster Prevention Base inside Koshienhama Seaside Park, and a panel exhibition about disaster prevention in the Hanshin area. It might also be fun to keep walking to Nishinomiya Shrine at the end and go enjoy some sake at Sakagura Renaissance.
