The McDonald’s Nigawa location in front of Hanshin Racecourse near Nigawa Station has closed.
(Thanks to Anonymous and 390 DUKE for the tip!)
Here it is↓
It looks like it closed on Sunday, October 15,
and is apparently set to reopen after renovation around early June next year.

Current state of “McDonald’s Nigawa location”
A notice saying “Closed” has been hung at the storefront, and the “McDonald’s” sign has also been removed.
There was also the following information board posted on the site.
Here it is↓
It seems to describe the “development plan” for the next use of the land.
New construction appears to be starting in January next year, and it looks like the store will become a two-story building 😄Looks like it’ll still have a drive-thru, just like before
Finally
This location is in Takarazuka, but since it’s close to Nishinomiya and has a drive-thru, some readers may have used it. Nearby McDonald’s locations include the one in front of Kotoen Station and the one inside Izumiya near Obayashi Station, but neither has a drive-thru, so it may feel a bit inconvenient for a while.
Anonymous and 390 DUKE, thank you very much for the information!!
