Apparently Nishinomiya-kitaguchi has been No. 1 for five years in a row
“Towns People Want to Live In (Tokyo Metropolitan Area / Kansai Area) 2020” has been conducted 32 times in the past.

Among them, Nishinomiya-kitaguchi apparently took first place for the fifth year in a row.
The reasons behind it were also listed.
It’s about 14 minutes to both Umeda and Kobe. Being able to get to either in probably about the same amount of time might be a big plus.
And as for shopping facilities, Nishinomiya Gardens goes without saying, but ACTA Nishinomiya, which has MUJI and Junkudo, is also a strong point.
No. 2 Shukugawa has beautiful streets and a quiet atmosphere
Shukugawa was ranked 4th last time,
and it looks like it moved up to 2nd this time.

The reason↓
Shukugawa Sakura Michi has that nice feeling where the Shukugawa River and the quiet townscape blend together.
Even though it’s the station next to Nishinomiya-kitaguchi, it’s impressive how it ranked for a completely different reason.
Finally
Nishinomiya-kitaguchi and Shukugawa beat out places like Umeda, Okamoto, Mikage, and Ashiyagawa to take No. 1 and No. 2!(Ahem)
