Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the Nishinomiya openings, closings, and hot topics covered this week (9/9–9/915) on “Nishi2 (Nishinomiya Tsushin)”!
Kansai Supermarket Looks Like It’s Holding a Sale for That
Yesterday, Hanshin won the league championship! So Kansai Supermarket, a subsidiary of the H2O Group that operates Hanshin Department Store and other businesses, is also holding a championship sale. Since it’s one of the most familiar places for everyday shopping, our article about Kansai Supermarket got a ton of views.
A Horse Robot That Looks Just Like the Real Thing at Gardens
Actually, this one was a mistake on Nishi2’s part. We misidentified it as a real horse and wrote, “There’s a horse at Gardens right now. It looks like a statue, but it’s real,” when it was actually a robot. But it moved so realistically that it really looked alive lol. After that, we published a correction article titled “Important Notice About the Horse [Apology].”

Something That Changed at Nishi2 This Week
There was one thing this week.
Nishi2’s MINI Car Got an Upgrade
For a while now, Nishi2 has been going out for interviews in a collaboration car with MINI Nishinomiya, but this time it changed!!
Here it is↓
A MINI Crossover!!!
This is the biggest car in the MINI lineup. The ceiling is high, too.
As always, the inside is super cute. Those round details are great, aren’t they?
It even has the Nishinomiya Tsushin logo on it. If you see it, please wave~~
