Final Thoughts
Route 43 was by far the busiest~
There are especially a ton of large vehicles! When you drive on Route 43, you really do see trucks everywhere.
It feels like a lot of the traffic going between Osaka and Kobe passes through Nishinomiya, and there are plenty of expressway entrances and exits too.
Some people might point out that the observation point is in Amagasaki City, but since it was listed in the Nishinomiya City Statistical Report, we decided to make it into a relaxed, Nishitsu-style quiz~.
