Here is the access ranking showing the most popular Nishinomiya Tsushin articles from March 2019!

Total Access for Nishi2

Compared to last month, page views increased by about 3.3 times! The number of users grew by 2.8 times!!

As of April 1, 2018, Nishinomiya City had a population of 487,207, which means about 1 in every 44 people viewed Nishinomiya Tsushin. In school terms, we’re getting close to a point where about one person in every class has seen it!! But honestly, we’re still at a level where almost nobody knows us yet. Next month, I hope that grows to around three people per class.

★It seems the Nishinomiya gourmet book “Nishinomiya Gourmet Masters” will be featured on “Ohayo Asahi Desu.” Airing Wednesday, March 13

The No. 1 article for March 2019 was about “Nishinomiya Gourmet Masters” being introduced on TV! Nishi2 bought four copies for the team, one personal copy for me, and one Kindle copy. You can’t buy it anymore. Despite Nishi2 still being a young site, we were able to interview Executive Committee member and owner-chef Uchino’s restaurant “Piman” and owner Yamatani’s “Bar Yamatani”! This month, we’re planning to publish an interview article about owner-chef Tanaka’s “Rucola Ruccola,” so stay tuned!

Highlights from This Month’s Top 30 Articles

For opening news, the long-awaited No. 3 article was “Ginza Nishikawa.” Since it’s described as luxury bread, I imagine a lot of people were curious and wanted to try it at least once.

In Nishi2 Gourmet, “Menya Shiroboshi” in front of Koshienguchi Station, ranked No. 14, drew a lot of access. No surprise, given its station-front location. Mii at Nishi2 really liked it too.

As for hot topics, the top article was Nishinomiya Gourmet Masters, but the No. 4 article about “Uber Eats” got an incredible amount of traffic, breaking into fourth place in just five days even though it was published on March 26. By the way, Nishi2 has already ordered from Uber Eats three times. We’ll write an article about it.

I was happy that the Nishinomiya Quiz article “Which public high school in Nishinomiya had the highest admissions competition rate for the 2019 school year?” finally made it to No. 24. We’ll keep collecting more fun topics.

This month’s opening news showed strong interest in ramen, bread, and meat-focused shops. They’re menus everyone loves, after all.

March was a genuinely happy month, with more and more action from everyone, including comments and information submissions!

Thank you so much for reading carefully all the way to the very end, even though this is the kind of thing people usually skim through.

We’ll keep bringing you fun topics in April too, so please look forward to it.
