It looks like Amazon will be opening a new facility in Kobe City’s Kita Ward (basically Nishinomiya) in March 2026.

As expected from a logistics warehouse! It’s huge.

On “Town Work,” they were recruiting “opening staff”.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1971 Okaba, Arino, Arino-cho, Kita Ward, Kobe City. It says “Nishinomiya Kita,” but the location is in Kobe. Do you know why?
(c) Google
It’s actually because the nearest interchange is the “Nishinomiya Kita Interchange.” By using the same name, they’re making sure truck drivers don’t get off at the wrong place.
Finally
Many people might think “Nishikita means Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi!” But some people also use “Nishikita” to refer to Nishinomiya Kita High School, and in the logistics industry, “Nishikita” doesn’t mean “Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi” but “Nishinomiya Kita Interchange”! Kind of interesting, isn’t it?
tachan, thank you for the tip!!
