Thank you (^_^)

Costco

If Amagasaki has one, I want Nishinomiya to have a Costco too. It’s a shame that the former Asahi Beer site is just hospitals. The reason I want a Costco is because I always want to buy cheap whole roasted chicken and frozen pizza. The fast food is affordable too. I don’t have a car, so it would be convenient if there were one in Nishinomiya.
Female, 50s
Because it seems like they could build one on the former Asahi Beer site
Female, 40s
If Amagasaki has one, I want Nishinomiya to have one too. It’s simply because I think it would be nice to have a Costco. I wish they had built Costco on the huge former Asahi Beer site. It’s a shame it’s all hospitals.
Female, 50s

Sushiro

Because it disappeared from Nishinomiya City
Male, 30s
Because there isn’t even one location anymore
Female, 30s
Because the Higashimachi location closed, and now Nishinomiya doesn’t have a Sushiro anymore.
Female, 30s

Outlet Mall

Because there isn’t one near Nishinomiya
Female, 30s
Because it would revitalize the bay area. Including job creation, I think it would be appealing for children in the future.
Male, 50s
If an outlet mall opened within biking distance, it would give me something fun to do on weekends and motivate me at work too ^_^
Female, 50s

100-Yen Shop

Even in higher-elevation areas, electric bicycles are now quite common, but it’s inconvenient because you have to go down to the flatlands for a repair shop. There’s no Daiso that’s easy to get to from the Kurakuen/Koyoen area…
Female, 40s
At the moment, there are small 100-yen sections inside ACTA and MaxValu, but compared with dedicated 100-yen shops, they don’t have much variety
Female, 20s
Because there isn’t one in Nishikita, and it’s seriously inconvenient!
Female, 50s

Dog Run

Unless you drive outside the city, there’s nowhere dogs can run freely. Also, there are many people letting dogs off-leash at the beach, so I think having a nearby dog run would help prevent trouble.
Female, 50s
There isn’t a large dog run unless you go all the way to Kobe, so I want a place in the city where we can play freely with our dogs
Female, 50s
I want Nishinomiya to have a place where dogs can interact
Male, 30s

BBQ / Glamping

In the past, we could casually do it at the Picnic Center, and it was fun. I don’t really know the Nishinomiya-hama area, so I haven’t gone there.
Female, 60s
There aren’t many campsites where you can fully enjoy nature
Female, 30s
I want to spend my days off relaxing in that kind of park. I’d be happy if leisure options in the city became richer.
Female, 40s

Spo-cha

According to my kids, they only have them far away
Female, 40s
You can enjoy all kinds of activities
Female, 30s

Zoo / Aquarium

I want to be soothed somewhere nearby that I can walk or bike to…
Female, 30s
I want more play facilities for children
Female, 40s

ROUND1

Because it’s a place where you can have fun regardless of the weather.
Because you can play lots of different sports together with your kids.
Female, 30s
There is Tomato in Murokawacho, but ROUND1 offers not only bowling, but also table tennis, billiards, batting cages, and other sports.
Bowling is a good value, like elementary school kids being free when you go as a family on Saturdays.
Right now we go all the way to Itami, and it feels like there is extra land around the former Asahi Beer factory site, so I’d be happy if they built one around there.
Female, 40s

Super Sento Public Bath

There are ones in Ashiya and Naruohama, but there isn’t a big super sento in the Hanshin Nishinomiya or JR Nishinomiya areas…
If it were nearby, I could even go after work…
Female, 20s
Right now I go to Ashiya, and it’s a really nice place, so I’d be happy if one opened nearby
Female, 50s

Others

A gyudon restaurant in Nishikita
I want a Matsuya, Sukiya, or Yoshinoya in front of the station
Female, 30s
A soba restaurant
Koshien definitely has too few soba restaurants. Even when I think, “I want to eat soba!” there aren’t any, which is disappointing
Female, 60s
A luxury hotel
I think it would be nice to have lodging
Male, 40s
A market
I want to buy fresh fish and eat while walking around!
Female, 20s
A place where you can eat Nishinomiya specialties
Because I’d like to recommend something to people by saying, “If you come to Nishinomiya, you have to go eat this‼️”
Female, 40s
I want a European-style streetscape lined with street-level cafes, bars, hotels, luxury boutiques, and more. For example, a European version of Kobe Nankinmachi. Former Sannomiya
I’d love it if an elegant district that feels unlike Japan, stylish, safe and secure, with good manners and no littering, could be created along the Koyo Line~~.
Male, 60s
Roadside cafes with parking lots, like Tully’s or Starbucks
Because there isn’t a large cafe nearby that you can drive to.
Male, 40s
I’ve always thought it would be nice to have a big sporting goods store!
Because Nishinomiya City doesn’t have many notable sporting goods stores
Male, 20s
A rabbit specialty shop and an animal hospital knowledgeable about rabbits
Because I love rabbits
Female, 60s
A soccer-only stadium
Bring the J.League to Nishinomiya
Male, 50s
Muscle Beach
A training facility along the beach. Working out under the sun would be fun, and it would improve the health of Nishinomiya residents. It originated in Santa Monica, LA, and in Japan there’s one in Aoshima, Miyazaki. Please bring one to Nishinomiya too!
Male, 40s
An amusement park
Because there isn’t an amusement park nearby where we can take the kids. When I was a child, I used to go to places like Takarazuka Family Land. On dates too.
Female, 30s
A reasonably priced Edomae sushi restaurant
There are conveyor belt sushi places and extremely expensive sushi restaurants, but there are no mid-range, reasonably priced yet authentic Edomae sushi restaurants.
Around 5,000 yen per person a la carte, not a course, excluding drinks.
Female, 40s
La-Mu
Because I want to try their super-cheap bento meals, haha
Male, 40s
Doutor
I want to eat mille crepe
Female, 30s
Lawson Store 100
Lawson Store 100 is really convenient, but I feel like there aren’t many in Nishinomiya
Female, 50s
GU
There is a GU, but it’s far…
I want one on the east side of the city tooー
Female, 50s

So many comments. I’m surprised. And happy!

Just thinking, “I wish they’d make something like this~ gets you excited, doesn’t it~!!
Just reading everyone’s “I wish we had this♪” ideas made me feel happy.
Thank you (^_^)

I can’t help wishing that some wealthy person or company executive somewhere would see this and make them come true~😀

If they all came true, Nishinomiya might even become No. 1 in Japan in the ranking of towns people want to live in~(^^♪

We also received lots of opinions, requests, and comments!

There were so many encouraging comments, valuable opinions, and requests. We’re happy!

We’ll keep working to make Nishitsu even better, so we hope you’ll continue supporting us for a long time!

Next Survey

Next time, the question is:

“What did you do during recess in elementary school?”

This time we tried making it a survey that doesn’t have much to do with Nishinomiya or Nishitsu~.

We thought it would be interesting if there were games unique to Miyakko kids, games that were only popular at certain elementary schools, or games you made up yourselves. Also, since this is our third survey, we wanted to ask something a little more relaxed~😀

Please tell us what you did during recess when you were in elementary school

Survey results are here↓↓

Dragging each other around the schoolyard
My neck hurt so much that I said, “Stopppp,” but they didn’t understand me and wouldn’t stop
I still can’t forget that scene
