It looks like “Umaimonya Man (Imazu Minami branch)” in front of Imazu Station will be closing as of March 31.
It’s on the north side of Hanshin Imazu Station and the east side of Hankyu Imazu Station.
Here’s the notice.
“Nigiwai Sakaba Man Main Branch” and “Izakaya Man JR Nishinomiya Branch,” located just north of the Imazu Minami branch, are operating as usual.
During its final week before closing, they appear to be holding an event called the “Drink Sakura Festival”!
Here’s the location on the map↓
The address is 1-30 Tsuto Kurehacho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Area around “Umaimonya Man (Imazu Minami branch)”
Across the street is Hanshin Imazu Station.
If you go this way, Hankyu Imazu Station will be on your right. Continue further and you’ll reach the Imazu West Line.
If you go in the opposite direction, you’ll see the LIFE supermarket in front of the station on your right. Continue on and you’ll reach the Meishin Expressway.
In Closing
This was a place I’d visited many times myself. Their spirit of hospitality has been wonderful right up to the very end, so I can’t help but feel a little sad.
Thank you for all your hard work. And thank you for everything!
“Nigiwai Sakaba Man Main Branch,” located just north of the Imazu Minami branch, and “Izakaya Man JR Nishinomiya Branch” are still open, so I’m thinking I’ll stop by again sometime!
