公開されていたので早速作成しました。2025年は万博イヤー！多くの駅で前年を上回りました！そんな中減少しているのは観光地を擁する箕面や嵐山。万博人気の反動でしょうか？

Here’s a comparison table by ranking. Compared with last year, it looks like passenger numbers increased at most stations.
Hanshinkokudo Station actually comes in last every year, and Nishitsu has covered it in the past too.
The Nishinomiya General Medical Center is set to open in front of the station in July, so I wonder what will happen next year.
来年はどうなる？
In Closing
Until 2012, the Asahi Beer Nishinomiya Brewery stood in front of the station, on the site where the medical center is now being built, so it was probably used by many commuters and brewery tour visitors. I’d love to know what its ranking was back then.
