Last Wednesday, Neil and myself went on a journey via Takarazuka and the Hankyu rail line to Nishinomiya Kitaguchi. Nishinomiya is somewhat of a hub as far as the Hankyu is concerned, connecting the Takarazuka line to the Kobe-Osaka line. As such we expected grand things, but upon arriving were disappointed to only find a lackluster mall. It didn’t even have an arcade, and those are everywhere.
However. Being a hub, the train station is very busy. And lots of people get to the train station on bicycles. Which means there are lots of bicycles just sitting around.
Seriously, those images are real. The sun was so bright, and the bikes were so glary that they look out of focus. But they are all bicycles. And they are legion.
Are those bicycles parked on racks?
If not, go bike tipping.
And can you really verbally say those Japanese words you’ve typed?
