Nishinomiya, Core city in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Nishinomiya extends between Osaka Bay and Mount Rokko, featuring industrial areas along the coast and residential districts towards the northern mountains.

The settlement originated as a village during the Yayoi period, later developing into a merchant town known for sake production in the Edo period.

The Koshien Stadium hosts the yearly national high school baseball tournament, drawing thousands of spectators from across Japan for this educational competition.

The city connects to major transportation networks through multiple railway lines and expressways, providing direct access to both Osaka and Kobe metropolitan areas.

The local water source, known as miya-mizu, contains specific mineral compositions that contributed to the development of premium sake production methods.
