Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the store openings and closings in Nishinomiya covered by “Nishitsu (Nishinomiya Tsushin)” this week (1/2–1/8), along with other local topics that got people talking!
The water in the hand pump at Takagi Park had frozen over. It’s going to be so cold this weekend that we might see even more ice around town, maybe even icicles. If you spot any interesting ice in Nishinomiya, please send photos to Nishitsu. We’ll turn them into an article!
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.

Anything New at Nishitsu This Week?
There was one thing this week.
Nishitsu Started Up Again on the 5th
Nishitsu officially got started for the year on the 5th.
That said, some of our members were already out around Nishinomiya checking things out, writing articles, or coming in to work from the 1st.
We’re already one week into the new year.
It’s gotten cold, and COVID-19 is starting to spread in full force.
Even so, Nishitsu will keep going, hoping to bring you interesting stories and fun information centered on Nishinomiya.
Thank You for the Tips!!
Since January has only just begun, there hasn’t been much movement around town, so we’ve received fewer tips than usual.
If you notice any changes, please send them through our tip submission form or via LINE.
