Welcome to “Nishitsu Nante Iu?”, a section where we ask readers what they call certain things in Nishinomiya and turn their answers into articles.
（This article was inspired by a tip from 7013F HK. Thank you!）
This time’s question is: what do you call a “seesaw”?
I used to call it “gikkon-battan,” but I’m curious what other people called it!
We usually just say “seesaw,” but we asked the Nishitsu members too.

Sorry. Seesaw. But I have heard “gikkon-bakkon” before!

When we looked into it, besides “seesaw,” there seem to be lots of other names depending on the region, such as “gikkon-battan,” “gittan-bakkon,” “battanko,” “gittan-battan,” and “gikkon-bakkon”!
We’re excited to see which name Miyakko locals use most!
