Nishinomiya City, located halfway between Osaka and Kobe, is a long, narrow region. Divided into two regions, mountainous and plain, from north to south, it is blessed with a rich natural environment. Its convenient location makes it a great place to live. With a good balance of educational institutions, tourist spots, and residential areas, it offers a comfortable living environment. Nishinomiya City is also home to Koshien Stadium, where the baseball tournament is held every summer. The tourism mascot for this region is "Miyatan." A light blue fairy, this cute character evokes the image of water. Established in 2012, the mascot promotes the region nationwide by spreading awareness of its merits.
