Nishinomiya

Built around Nishinomiya Shrine, Nishinomiya grew into a coastal city between Osaka and Kobe, with a shoreline on Osaka Bay and northern districts rising toward the Rokko Mountains. The shrine is closely associated with Ebisu, a deity of prosperity, and its January Tōka Ebisu festival remains a major local observance. Nishinomiya is also home to Hanshin Koshien Stadium, opened in 1924 and renowned as the setting for Japan’s National High School Baseball Championship. Local sake breweries add another layer to the city’s identity, as the Nada-Gogō brewing district includes Nishinomiya.
