Finally
This is a rare chance to tour the inside of Nishinomiya Battery, which is usually hard to enter. With explanations from a curator, it also seems like a good opportunity to learn about Nishinomiya in the late Edo period and the history of Osaka Bay’s coastal defenses. History fans should enjoy it, of course, but it also sounds like something you could enjoy casually as part of a stroll〜
