There’s a fairy living in Nishinomiya.
Its name is Miyatan

In our article “How old will Nishinomiya’s tourism character ‘Miyatan’ be this year?”,
we introduced Miyatan like this: “Miyatan is a ‘light-blue fairy’ who descended upon Nishinomiya, drawn by the waters of the city: the rivers flowing down from Nishinomiya’s mountains, ponds steeped in legend, the blue sea dotted with yachts, and Miyamizu, the water essential for making high-quality sake.” ヽ(^o^)丿
That’s right, Miyatan is a fairy!
And here is the fairy’s house↓

Ta-da! ヽ(^o^)丿
It’s located at the entrance to the hiking trail up Mt. Kabutoyama from Nishinomiya City Kabutoyama Nature House.

Here’s what it looks like inside (^ ^)
Miyatan seemed to be out, but there were signs that someone had been cooking… could it have been Miyatan?

It’s hard not to notice the character for “sake,” but the windows and door are all wide open, which feels a little careless (^_^;)
Here’s the location on the map↓
Here it is on another map↓

Miyatan is a fairy, so if you’re lucky, you might just get to meet one (^O^)/
