Thank you as always for sending in your answers. Now let’s take a look at the results〜♪

“What places, shops, or facilities in Nishinomiya still feel like the Showa era?”

甲南亭グリル
A Western-style restaurant that feels Showa both outside and inside
Male, 60 or older

マルシェ西宮 花と寅

From “喫茶とお酒 花と寅,” a cafe bar near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station [Show Us Your Shop!] 
They have nostalgic menu items
Female, 50s

Nishinomiya Sports Center (inside the municipal ground)
The building was already there in the early 1970s. Back then, the pond in front of the building had a working fountain, and at night the fountain was lit up in red, blue, green, and other colors. I remember it being incredibly dreamlike. Come to think of it, there was also an outdoor pool.
Male, 50s

マルシェ西宮

From “One-Coin Daily Curry Rice” at Indian and Nepalese restaurant ナマステタンドール (near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station) [Nishitsu Gourmet] 
The stairs to the second floor are steep & there’s no elevator
Female, 20s

Nishinomiya City Hall

Both the building and the facilities feel analog
Male, 20s

The coin laundry inside the 甲子園口栄宏ビル building
I think you’ll understand if you go there. The whole place, including the passage through the building, has a late-Showa feel.
Male, 30s

I feel like there are quite a few retro-modern shops when you head east from Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
I often pass through by bicycle, and I like the streetscape along the way toward where Nishinomiya-Higashiguchi Station used to be.
Female, 40s

The residential area of Kamikotoen 1, especially around Kusunoki-dori.
I like how it feels like an upscale residential neighborhood from the early Showa era. I often pass through there when heading toward Kobe.
Male, 40s

💎Diamond Cross💎

Provided by: Hankyu Railway
I rode the Hankyu train every day for work and school. When the train passed over the Diamond Cross, the sound of the wheels was different🎶 It brings back memories. The only thing I find disappointing is that it has been left quietly in a spot quite far from Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station🛤️ I wish the Diamond💎Cross were still inside Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station.
Female, 60 or older

Next Survey

“Which supermarket do you often use in Nishinomiya?”

This year in Nishinomiya, Marunaka became Daiei, Mandai opened, Gyomu Super relocated, and Maruai and Ito-Yokado were renovated. There was no shortage of supermarket news. We ran a survey once in 2020, but for 2022 we’d like to ask everyone in Nishinomiya again which supermarkets they often useー♪
