Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back on the openings, closings, and trending topics in Nishinomiya covered by “Nishitsu” this week (8/3–8/9)!

Weekend Nishinomiya Info

Here’s the weekend weather and event information for Nishinomiya.

The weekend will be mostly sunny

Saturday the 10th will be sunny, with a 10% chance of rain and a high of 37°C. It’s going to be extremely hot. If you’re heading out, you’ll probably want to stay in the shade as much as possible. It looks like temperatures will remain above 30°C even after 6 p.m.

Sunday the 11th will be sunny with occasional clouds, with a 20% chance of rain and a high of 37°C. Let’s hope for those cloudy moments.

Monday the 12th will be cloudy with occasional sun, with a 30% chance of rain and a high of 35°C. Because of the clouds, the high will be 2 degrees lower than Saturday and Sunday. Still hot, though.

This week’s roundup

This week, the yakiniku restaurant “Gyuubei Souan” at Gardens drew a lot of attention. It clearly looks like an expensive place, so we’re guessing many people visited the article because they were curious about what it’s like.

What surprised us a little was the article about the “Hyogo Prefecture Private Elementary, Junior High, and High School Information Session” held at Hotel Hewitt Koshien. The article was published on the 8th, but it has already climbed all the way to 2nd place in the weekly ranking, drawing quite a lot of attention. It seems that Nishinomiya has a relatively high percentage of families who send their children to private schools, so that may be part of the reason.

This week, we had a paparazzi-style raccoon snapshot and plenty of tips from readers! There are still some tips we’ve received that we haven’t been able to turn into articles yet, but we’ll publish them one by one! We’re truly grateful and moved that people are sending us information during this hot summer!

If you have anything, please feel free to send it our way!

Nishitsu will keep updating every day through Obon too, bringing you timely local topics!
