To promote “Nada Gogo,” which has been certified as a Japan Heritage site.
Since October 13, a “Go! Go! Nada Gogo” wrapped train has been running on Hanshin Railway ＼(^o^)／
In news-style wording it’s called a wrapping train, but here at Nishi2 we’ll call it a wrapped train
The service period is planned for an amazing two years!
The operating sections are the Hanshin Main Line (Osaka-Umeda to Motomachi), Hanshin Namba Line (Amagasaki to Osaka-Namba), and Kobe Kosoku Line (Motomachi to Nishidai).
※ Through direct service, it is also scheduled to run on the Sanyo Electric Railway Line (Nishidai to Sanyo-Himeji) and Kintetsu Line (Osaka-Namba to Kintetsu-Nara) !(^^)!
The design theme is “Ways to Enjoy Japanese Sake in Every Season” ヽ(^o^)丿
It shows seasonal ways to enjoy sake with adorable cat illustrations: “hanami-zake” in spring, “suzumi-zake” in summer, “hiyaoroshi” in autumn, and “shiboritate” in winter!
The illustrations of cats protecting the rice, essential for making sake, from mice are so cute (#^.^#)
Nishinomiya’s sake breweries are all lined up too!
Here are the ones we’ve written about on Nishi2 ↓
There are even cute hanging straps with sake barrels attached ＼(^o^)／
“I want to hang on to the Nishinomiya-go strap and ride along!” our shacho is desperately hoping for that!!
Inside the train, posters introducing “Nada sake” and “Nada sake breweries” will also be displayed for about three weeks from the start of service.
Illustrator Tetsuji Yamaguchi’s comment said,
“Once you ride it, you’ll start missing Nada sake,” and it really does make you want to drink some !(^^)!
Oh, right !(^^)!
Here’s the special website for “Nada Sake Brewery Tour 2020,” which we wrote about on Nishi2 ↓
