In Nishitsu’s internal survey:
Surprisingly, at Nishitsu, “I was sleeping” got two people!
The rate of people who were not asleep at the New Year’s countdown was 71%!
Everyone was at home, and two people were outside Nishinomiya, so the rate of people at home within Nishinomiya was also 71%!
What will the actual survey results be?!
Summary of Feedback Sent to Nishitsu
・Thank you as always for information around my workplace! I look forward to more.
・I always check the site after coming home from school! Recently, some kind of shop called Gyoppa! seems to have opened where the former Athene Bookstore was, so I’d like you to look into it. I really love your site!
・I’m looking forward to lots of things again this year.
・I appreciate the small changes around town and information on store openings and closures.
・Things are difficult right now, but please share lots of information about restaurants! I’m only a citizen and can’t do much, but I want to help!
・Your real, on-the-ground information is extremely valuable. I hope companies that read your articles will expand further into Nishinomiya.
・I check in from time to time. I especially look forward to information about new restaurant openings. Ideally, it would be even more fun if you could include not just that a place has opened or is likely to open, but also what the shop is known for or what’s on the menu.
That’s all for now＼(^o^)／
When someone says “I love it!”, it makes us want to work even harder!!
