I Ran from Hanshin Nishinomiya Station to Arima Onsen Using a Route That Stays in Nishinomiya as Much as Possible

I ran from Hanshin Nishinomiya Station to Arima Onsen.

As a Nishitsu reporter, this was a run staked on the pride of “passing through Nishinomiya City as much as possible.”

Here’s the route I ran this time↑
Part of it passes through Takarazuka City; after running through Najio and Yamaguchi-cho, the final roughly 2 km are in Kobe City.

I took on the challenge on January 3, and there were lots of people heading to pray around Mondo-Yakujin!

I bought my travel buddy, Wilkinson, from its dedicated vending machine!

The road from Namaze toward Najio↑
The road is narrow-kinson.

Washi-kinson (taking a break)↑

A small path in Najio↑
There was a little bit of snow on the ground! ⛄ What a surprise

Entering Yamaguchi-cho!
It’s cold, but Arima Onsen is almost there～～!! ♨

I also passed Maruyama Inari Shrine, where a mysterious crop circle was discovered
【Past article】There was a crop circle at the inner shrine of Maruyama Inari in Yamaguchi-cho

Found the sign!
Straight ahead! Nothing to do but charge forward!!

“Arima Yamaguchi Bridge” really sounds like a bridge right on the border between Nishinomiya City and Kobe City!

Looking back, you can see the whole town from the slope I climbed up! ✨

The “city border” shot I could only get because I ran all the way here♪
Why do humans feel so HAPPY when standing on a border? Haha ✨

After blazing through the final 2 km, I reached the finish at Arima Onsen’s “Kin no Yu”!
So, what was the total distance…?

About 25 km～! 🏃♨✨

In Closing

There was this lovely pamphlet.
Whether or not I had a drink after the bath… I’ll leave that to your imagination❤(My recommendation is Rokko Beer)
