Overall Access Numbers for Nishinomiya Tsushin

Maybe because more people were staying home due to COVID-19, our page views increased by about 180,000 from last month.

We’re almost at 1 million PV. The PV goal we set back in December last year is right in front of us!!

By the way, in May 2019, the same month the previous year, we had:

★74,611 page views
★20,195 users

That growth over one year is incredible. Twelve times bigger!

Next year it’ll be 10 million PV! I’ll go ahead and leave this message for next year: “We did it, thank you so much!!”

A Word on the May 2020 Article Ranking

Since the state of emergency had been declared, COVID-related articles drew a lot of access, including the reopening of Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens, effective ways to use masks, and Izumiya’s temporary closure for a refresh.

Among them, perhaps the most shocking was the closing of Airen in front of Mondo-Yakujin Station. We saw many social media posts from people sharing memories, like how they used to go there with their parents when they were little.

Also, the opening of Life along Yamate Kansen in May was probably a major event.

A few slightly surprising articles also made the ranking, such as “There’s a place that used to be part of Amagasaki” and “There’s an unfamiliar black train.”

A Word on the May 2020 Gourmet Article Ranking

In May, about 80 to 90 percent of the gourmet articles were about takeout. Takeout has an unbeatable casual feel to it, so please use these articles as a reference.

Shacho @ Nishitsu, who is writing this article, has a small appetite and is also a picky eater, so I’m not exactly a foodie. That’s why I’m writing this section while wondering whether I’m really the right person to be writing it.

So I leave the gourmet articles completely to these four Nishitsu members who love eating, but I also tried the onigiri in Koshien Gobancho, and they were absolutely the real deal. They were so good that a teacher could assign every Miyakko to eat one by the end of the week as homework.

Results of May’s Nishinomiya Surveys

We held all kinds of reader-participation surveys again in May!

We’ll also be doing more hands-on Nishinomiya projects, like “How many skipping steps does it take for an adult woman to cross Muko Ohashi Bridge?”, so please look forward to them!

The survey asking “How much does it cost to go once around Nishinomiya by taxi?” was popular! Personally, I also liked the survey results about the globalization of April Fool’s Day.
