This year is finally almost over.
I became a writer for Nishitsu in June, so I’ve been writing articles for about half a year now.
So, as a way to look back on the year, I put together a top 10 list of my articles by page views.

No. 10: Eating Hearty and Reporting Back! 7 Recommended Yakiniku Restaurants Around Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi【Nishitsu Roundup】
Since many people seem to be looking for yakiniku restaurants near Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, I actually visited the restaurants one by one, wrote articles about each of them, and finally created this roundup article.
Yakiniku really does have lasting popularity.
Around Kitaguchi, there’s a wide range of places, from high-end restaurants to more casual spots, and I was reminded that you can enjoy all kinds of beef, including Yamagata beef and Kobe beef.

No. 9: Licca-chan Dolls Wearing the Ichinishi School Uniform Are on Sale
This article covered the “Original Uniform Licca-chan” doll, which was planned as part of the 100th anniversary project for Ichinishi.
Nishitsu also actually applied to purchase one, and we wrote an article about that as well.
The product is expected to arrive next year, and we’re looking forward to it.

No. 8: Next Year, Churentai Is Scheduled to Be “Canceled,” While Shorentai Is Scheduled to Be “Held”
This article covered the news that “Churentai” would be canceled next year due to the impact of the Olympics.
It’s surprising to see the Olympics affecting things even here.
It was also a topic that drew a wide range of opinions, both for and against.

No. 7: Roundup of Stamp Locations for “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Anime Pilgrimage”
A stamp rally was held as part of an event commemorating Nishinomiya City’s recognition as an anime pilgrimage site, so I wrote an article rounding up the stamp locations.
It seems that many people taking part in the stamp rally read the article.
Here’s the article↓
No. 6: The Origins of “Shukugawa” and “Morig具”
I wrote an article about the origin of the place name Shukugawa, where the Nishitsu editorial office is located.
I was also born and raised in Shukugawa, so it includes a little bit of my own personal perspective as well.
Here’s the article↓
No. 5: Hyogo College of Nutrition, Culinary and Confectionery Arts to Close
This article covered the news that the long-standing vocational school in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi for cooks, dietitians, and confectionery hygiene masters would be closing.
I was one of them too, but I think many people were shocked by this unexpected news.
Here’s the article↓
No. 4: Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, Then and Now
I wrote about the changes around Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, which many people use, as well as the traces of the past that still remain today.
The article also covered nostalgic spots such as the Diamond Crossing and Nishinomiya Stadium.

No. 3: Specialty Shokupan Bread Shop “Ichimuan” Opened on November 16!【Hanshin Nishinomiya・Todacho】
This is about a specialty shokupan bread shop that opened near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
It was one of our opening articles, and it seems many people were interested, so it received a lot of views.
Here’s the article↓
No. 2:【Lunch】We Ate Our Way Through All 26 Restaurants on the 4th Floor of Nishinomiya Gardens
This article rounded up all 26 restaurants on the 4th-floor restaurant area of Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens.
Personally, this may have been the toughest article I worked on this year.
Gardens really does draw a lot of attention from many people.
Here’s the article↓
No. 1: A Specialty Koppepan Shop Called “Fuwakoppe Hanshin Nishinomiya” Has Opened in Tanakacho Near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station
This article covered a specialty koppepan shop that opened near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
It’s a shop that fills koppepan with various ingredients, and I wrote the article on opening day.
The shop itself was getting a lot of attention, and apparently there wasn’t much information about it on other gourmet sites, so access to Nishitsu seems to have concentrated there.
Here’s the article↓
Summary
Broadly speaking, the articles that ranked high seem to fall into categories like “bakeries” (No. 1 and No. 3), “gourmet roundup articles” (No. 2 and No. 10), “hyper-local news” (No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 8), and “famous characters” (No. 7 and No. 9).
“Bread” and “famous characters” already have strong appeal as content, so I think many people both inside and outside the city read those articles.
By actively sharing articles like these, we can also promote Nishinomiya to people beyond the city.
On the other hand, “hyper-local news” has a stronger meaning as information for local residents, and is more like content that helps the people of the city.
“Gourmet” might fall somewhere in between.
By creating a good balance of these various kinds of articles, I think we can be useful to many people and, in turn, help energize Nishinomiya.
Taking this year’s reflections to heart, I’ll keep working hard next year to create even more readable articles!
Thank you very much for this past year!
We look forward to your continued support next year！！！
