In Closing
The other day, “Narumi and Okamura’s Sugiru TV” featured a ranking of places people want to live, and while I was watching and thinking Nishinomiya would be No. 1, I was surprised to see it come in at No. 3. One of the ranking factors was “human warmth,” and Amagasaki took first place. Well, I guess that makes sense.
