The Blue Impulse jets coming to the Osaka Expo tomorrow, 4/13, around noon can apparently be seen from Nishinomiya too.
Here↓
They’re apparently doing an aerobatic display over the Osaka Expo site for 15 minutes from 12:00!

Still, it looks like three jets did fly. Could you see them from Nishinomiya? If you managed to take photos, please let us know~~ (via LINE or the form)
By the way, they’ll depart from Kansai Airport, starting at 11:40.
The Blue Impulse jets will zoom across Osaka Prefecture✈️
They’ll leave Kansai Airport around 11:40 and start flying from the south,
then zip past famous spots like Tsutenkaku and Osaka Castle,
and do a display flight over the Expo’s Yumeshima site around 12:00-12:15!
However, the route may change depending on the weather☁️
*They’re asking that only people going to the Expo use Yumeshima Station~
Here are just a few places where they might be visible.
Kabuto-yama Forest Park
They’ll probably look really tiny, but I think you might be able to see them.
Since you can see Abeno Harukas from there, they might be visible too. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot on the south side~
Here’s the panoramic view↓
You might be able to see them from higher places like Koyoen or Kurakuen.
Koshienhama, Naruohama, Nishinomiyahama, and similar spots
If you’re right by the water, they might be visible since the distance should feel a bit closer.
You might be able to see them from Koshienhama, Naruohama, Nishinomiyahama, and places like that. I also feel like they might be visible from bridges.
Information received
Information we received via Nishitsu’s Facebook.
- On the rehearsal flight day, April 10, they were visible from around Mukogawa Women’s University a little after 12:10. The lower reaches of the Muko River might offer an even better view, apparently.
- We also heard that the Grand Ring can be seen from Ashiyahama. So they’ll probably be visible.
Finally
That said, the forecast for tomorrow says there may be about 2 mm of rain. So realistically, if you live somewhere high up and can see in that direction, consider yourself lucky. But dads, you’re allowed to give it your best shot!
