It looks like Hanshin Bus’s Jurinji Line stopped going via JR Sakura Shukugawa Station starting Saturday, March 4.

Due to the “Manyoen-suji drainage pipe replacement work,” the Jurinji Line had been operating on a detour route for a while, but since the construction has been completed, it has returned to its previous route. The timetable has also apparently been revised.
What Changed
The two main changes are as follows.
Stops You Can No Longer Access
When the bus was using the detour route, it also stopped at the “JR Sakura Shukugawa Station” bus stop, but it no longer stops there.
Fewer Services
① Jurinji Line（Westbound）
The 7:10 departure from Hanshin Nishinomiya has been reduced.
② Nishinomiya Yamate Line
For both eastbound and westbound routes, the weekday, weekend, and holiday timetables from the 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. hours have apparently been reduced by about 1 to 3 services.

Finally
I wonder how long it had been operating on the detour route? This might be inconvenient for people who used this route to get off at JR Sakura Shukugawa Station. By the way, if you take the bus bound for Kobe Customs, the “Shukugawa” bus stop along Route 2 is close to Sakura Shukugawa Station.
