Here it is↓
It’s a toy shop that sells woodcarving materials and play equipment. In simple terms, it’s a wooden toy shop.
It closed about five years ago and the shutters had been down ever since, but it seems to have reopened on December 14 last year.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1-18 Sakuradani-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
Around Ryubokuan
Gusto is across the street.
If you head this way, the residential area continues on for quite a while, eventually leading to the Mitarashi River (Higashi River).
In the opposite direction, you’ll find places like Matsu no Ya, Torikara Stand, and Maruhachi, leading toward National Route 2.
Lastly
The display seems to have changed a little from before, so it looks like the shop has been renewed. It seems the owner’s nephew is now running the shop. It feels like neighborhood toy stores are becoming fewer these days, so a specialty shop with the feel of wooden toys seems like something valuable for Nishinomiya. Looks like it would be good for gifts.
