New Year’s morning has that crisp, ringing chill in the air, doesn’t it? It feels a little special. And when you’re heading out to see the first sunrise of the year, it’s a combo of
“waking up early” + “it’s cold” + “public transit is still limited”, so having a car makes things so much easier.
That’s when we want you to remember カルノリレンタカー兵庫西宮店, a familiar name here on Nishitsu. It’s right near Hanshin-Kokudo Station, and it’s the kind of rental car service that gets cheaper the longer you rent.

The year-end and New Year holidays tend to get busy no matter what, so even if you’re not planning to rent right away, it’s reassuring to first add them as a friend on LINE so you’re ready to check availability.
Now, on to the main topic!

Getting from the parking lot up those stairs is honestly a bit of a climb. But that’s exactly why the view from up there is so spectacular.
