This Week’s Roundup
This week was the city council election, and Nishi2 saw an incredible number of page views, the most since the site launched. People must have been really interested, wondering things like, “Did the person I voted for get elected?”
There was also a bumper crop of Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi stories. The new shops for Nishinomiya Gardens’ 10th anniversary renewal wrapped up with Starbucks, but since it’s always a hot topic, we’ll definitely keep an eye on it.
And finally, the Koroen area made its appearance in the first installment of our new “Just Nishinomiya” series! We’d like to keep featuring areas that haven’t had many updates in the “Just Nishinomiya” corner.
So we’re looking for tips!
“I confessed my feelings to my girlfriend at such-and-such spot in this area and got turned down,” or
“The view from this spot in this area is absolutely unbeatable,” and so on.
If you have any info, we’ll go take photos, so we’d really appreciate it if you could send us even just a short message through our tip form.
That’s it for this week’s Nishi2.
Have a great weekend!
