Ever get the urge to wash your futons or blankets at home?
Shachomi has also been piling up large bedding items I’ve wanted to wash but haven’t been able to.
家のふとん、洗濯どうしてる？
They won’t fit in the washing machine at home, and carrying them all the way to a laundromat is just…
heavy
Two futons plus several blankets came to over 10kg total. Walking was absolutely impossible~ My fingers nearly fell off
So then!
This is Karunori Rent-a-Car Hyogo Nishinomiya Store, familiar to Nishi2 readers. It’s right near Hanshin-Kokudo Station, and we recommend it because the longer you rent, the cheaper it gets!

目次
We went to the laundromat that opened next to Hoka-Ben
The place we visited is a new laundromat operated by Hoka-Ben.
It’s called “Wash&Shine! (Wash and Shine).” That’s why Hoka-Ben is right next door.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 21-18 Kawarabayashicho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
It’s along the Nishinomiya-Toyonaka Line. Did you know this road had that name?
It’s on the road that heads east from Jukusei Yakiniku Ichiban on the Nakatsuhama Line~
This laundromat just opened last February.
Some items can’t be washed and dried here, so be sure to check. Oh, cushions and stuffed toys are no good~
They also have sneaker washing and drying.
For 200 yen, adults can wash up to 2 pairs. Kids’ shoes can go up to 4 pairs
Drying is 100 yen.
The machines were way more advanced than expected
The first thing that caught my eye after walking in was the size of the machines.
There’s a washer-dryer that can handle up to 27kg. *27kg is for washing only
Two futons plus several blankets all fit into one machine~!
Honestly, even if you don’t know how many kilograms your laundry is, there’s a proper load line, so if it fits under that, you’re good.
For the course, you can choose disinfecting and deodorizing or mite-repellent deodorizing.

Normally, this is where you’d think, “I have to wait 40 minutes?”
