Something Different on Nishi2 This Week
We have one item this week.
We went to a waterfall somewhere
Previously on Nishi2, we went on an outing called “We went exploring in the darkest place in Nishinomiya [Nishi2 Outdoors],” and this week we went to check out a place with a certain waterfall.
In his life so far, Shacho @ Nishi2 hasn’t done much outdoorsy stuff like this, so it was an experience full of excitement and fun. I think it’ll definitely make you want to go. We posted part of it as an article on the 9th.
Here’s a sneak peek↓
Info That Almost Became an Article
This was submitted by n.
It’s a Miyatan manhole cover. We actually do plan to turn this into an article, but we thought we’d wait until we found a few more things, so for now we’re sharing the photo we received from n here first.
Since it’s for the water supply, it has a water mark, and it’s finished in a cute, very Miyatan-like design.
They also found some other unusual things, but those may appear someday when the full article goes up.
If you find an unusual manhole cover, please send it to us via LINE or our information submission form.
Next up is a tip from Kuroneko Fukusuke about the reopening of the izakaya “磯家波平” along Route 2.
We had already turned this into an article, but they sent us a valuable photo of the flyer, so we’re introducing it here!
They were running a reopening campaign where your first toast drink, normally 430 yen or less, was free, and all drinks from the second one onward were half price!
It looks like this campaign runs until August 31, so if you’re looking to drink on the cheap, how about giving it a try?
Thank you again for all the many tips this week ヽ(^o^)丿
If you have any information, we’d love to hear from you via LINE or our information submission form!
