It looks like Asahi Broadcasting’s “news okaeri”, airing tomorrow, Sunday, December 3 from 16:25 to 17:25, will be looking into the mystery of “the scars on the pine trees along the Muko River.”

“Nande Yanen!?” is a popular segment on “news okaeri” that follows mysterious traces left around town to get to the bottom of local mysteries. This time, it seems a Nishinomiya mystery will be featured as part of a special broadcast😄
It says: Scars on the pine trees along the Muko River… traces of a major secret national project!!
After looking into it a bit…
Apparently, some pine trees around the Muko River still bear scars from the collection of “shokonyu” pine root oil, made from pine sap, to help make up for gasoline shortages during World War II. So the program may be about that. → Reference:Records of the War in Nishinomiya｜Nishinomiya City Website
The broadcast will air on Sunday, December 3 from 16:25 to 17:25.
Finally
It looks like this will be a program where you can learn more about Nishinomiya’s history. If you’re interested, why not check it out?😊
