You can learn about the career of Tezuka Osamu, who spent about 20 years at Takarazuka. As a fan of Phoenix and Black Jack, I found the visit both intriguing and exciting. Whether you're with the family, on a date, or with fellow fans, I think this is a facility you'll enjoy as long as you know even a little about the works.

I was finally able to go to a lifestyle shop that I had always thought was wonderful when I saw it on Instagram! It's easy to get there by car, but if you walk hard you can also get there by train 🤍 The moment you enter, you'll be amazed by the wonderful space that spreads out before you 🥹 It's a world view that makes you think that each item was carefully selected one by one.

Of course, the ice itself is also delicious. The main part is mildly sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness with the accompanying milk and syrup. The red bean paste is tasty and pairs perfectly with hojicha and matcha.

#QuintessaCampaign When you think of Hyogo, you think of Takarazuka. I somehow feel that way. Takarazuka city has many train stations and everywhere has a quiet, upscale residential atmosphere. Wilkinson, the carbonated drink, actually originated in Takarazuka. There is also a Tezuka Osamu museum.

The SA on the Shin-Meishin Expressway in Hyogo Prefecture is a service area that makes you want to go there👍 Here's why✨✨✨ Collaboration products such as objects from Tezuka anime such as Astro Boy and Princess Knight, sweets, handbags, and accessories are waiting for you✨✨✨ They also sponsor the local area, so you can find the hard-to-find Great Buddha pudding and pickled wasabi enoki mushrooms👍 It's a really wonderful service area💕💕 #QuintessaCampaign #BreathtakingView #CoupleTrip #Gourmet #Takarazuka

I'm going out for a bit👍 If you are coming from Hyogo prefecture on the Shin-Meishin Expressway, you should definitely stop by here😉 A highly recommended service area is here✨✨✨ "Shin-Meishin Expressway Takarazuka Nishi Service Area" If you are planning on taking a bus trip or using the expressways during your stay in Japan, be sure to stop by. It's like the world of the Takarazuka Revue👍 #breathtakingview #coupletrip #themepark #Quintessacampaign

A delicious Japanese restaurant, "Kagonoya Takarazuka Branch" located on Takarazuka Line Street from the Hanshin Expressway. Take off your shoes before entering. Each table is a sunken table, so you can sit with your feet down. It's great that you don't have to sit upright~😊😊😊 During lunch time, you can get this quality food for under ¥1000. There are two types of desserts, starting from ¥290, so it's very reasonable!! You can share the dessert with someone💗 #gourmettrip #HyogoPrefecture

A two-minute walk from Takarazuka Minamiguchi Station, a hidden bar with a good old Showa-era feel has opened. Its name is "Zukekura, a bar specializing in steamed dishes in a bamboo steamer." When you step inside the store, you will find a dim, adult atmosphere with counter seats surrounding an open kitchen. Steam from the bamboo steamer wafts through the air. The place is kept clean and comfortable, and it was quiet and quiet.  All the dishes on the menu here are steamed in a bamboo steamer. Their specialties include Chinese cabbage dashi shumai with thickened bean paste, steamed dashi croquettes, and seasonal steamed kudzu tofu, which are healthy yet satisfying, as the flavor of the ingredients is tightly locked in. All dishes are priced from 260 yen per item, so you can enjoy them casually.  For lunch, they also have a "lunch plate full of warm vegetables," which costs about 1,850 yen (tax included) and is nutritionally balanced. It was the perfect volume for a girls' lunch before or after a play, or for a night out.  There are counter seats as well as table seats, and reservations can be made for small groups. It's a small space with about 10 to 15 seats in total, so you can relax and enjoy your time here. Another nice point is that it's non-smoking.  A new steaming experience where you can enjoy the steam from the bamboo steamer and the aroma of the broth at the same time. It was a place that was kind to both the body and the soul, blending in with the retro streets of Takarazuka. #absolutelyfreetrip #Hyogo #Takarazuka #Hyogolunch #domestictravel

I stayed at the Takarazuka Hotel, which I've been interested in for a long time♡ It's a 5-minute walk from Hankyu Takarazuka Station and right next to the Takarazuka Grand Theater, so it's the perfect location to stay after going to the theater🎭✨ The entire hotel is unified in a classical Art Deco style, and it feels like you've traveled back in time. The lobby and rooms are elegant no matter where you look, and it makes you feel like, "Oh, maybe I'm a Takarazuka actress right now...?" lol I stayed in a double room. The room was spacious and the calm interior was really nice. What's more, the bright lighting makes your face look beautiful, which is a secret point that makes me excited...♡ It's important to get ready in the morning! The staff's customer service was also polite, and I was impressed by the warmth in the gorgeousness. Even if you're not going to the theater, this hotel is perfect for a girls' trip or a reward stay💐 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #HyogoTourism #Takarazuka #TakarazukaHotel #DomesticTrip #DomesticTripAdvice

The pathway leading to Huazang Temple is flanked by neatly arranged pines and well-trimmed shrubs, creating a tranquil and peaceful ambiance. The architectural style of the temple is simple yet elegant, with the main hall's roof adorned with traditional green tiles that glimmer with an ancient charm under the sunlight. On the square in front of the main hall, a few meticulously pruned bonsai trees add a touch of vitality to the overall environment. Here, there is no urban noise, only the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in this serene setting. Every detail of Huazang Temple reflects the essence of Zen culture, adding a dynamic beauty to the tranquil surroundings. Various greenery and flowers showcase their unique charm in each season. In one corner of the Zen temple, there is a small tea room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, experiencing the leisurely and refined essence of Zen tea culture.

I participated in the "Takarazuka Bar" event held on a Saturday in June in Takarazuka. Takarazuka Bar is an event with the theme of "Connecting people with great alcohol and food" where restaurants around Takarazuka station participate. During the event, each participating restaurant will offer a Takarazuka Bar exclusive menu in the perfect amount for bar hopping. I participated in the bar on June 21st. ✔︎Fata Club ✔︎Kuro's Dining Cafe ✔︎Yakiniku Daigoro ✔︎Ajimi I went around. All of them were under 1000 yen and I was very satisfied! During the bar, you can also drink Takarazuka's local highball! Takarazuka highballs look gorgeous and taste delicious! On June 28th, you can go bar hopping around Sakasegawa Station, Kobayashi Station, and Incheon Station. Please come and try it! #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

I went to a cafe called "Warabimochi Specialty Shop Seika" in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture. 📍1-17-16 Kiyoharajin, Takarazuka, Hyogo This shop is located along the approach to Kiyoharajin. They have a variety of flavors of warabimochi, including matcha, kinako, and hojicha! You can take it out, but this time I ordered the "Chotto Hitoiki Set" which is a set menu of kinako warabimochi and a drink, as I ate in! I also ordered brown sugar syrup for an additional fee! The smooth and creamy warabimochi was delicious! #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

Kiyoharajin Seichoji Temple is widely known in the Kansai region as "Arajin-san," the god of fire and the kitchen. It was built in the Heian period and was given the title of Japan's No. 1 Kiyoharajin by Emperor Uda! There are food stalls, cafes, and general stores nearby, so it's also recommended as a tourist spot! ✨ --------------------------------------------- 📍1-banchi, Yoneya Kiyoshi, Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture 🕰️5:00-21:00 --------------------------------------------- #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #HyogoTrip #HyogoTourism

Lounge Renaissance Autumn Afternoon Tea Four sessions of afternoon tea in one day! This is my first attempt at such a 'popternoon tea' experience. The 10 AM afternoon tea is my second time having tea at this hour, the first being at Granvia Hiroshima. Since the first session starts at 10 AM, it made this popternoon tea challenge possible. I had breakfast in Kyoto and set off early in the morning. I arrived in Takarazuka around 9 AM. This is my second visit to Takarazuka, the first being 10 years ago when I visited the Osamu Tezuka Museum. Not much has changed since then. It already felt beautifully complete back then. I spent about an hour strolling around and soaking in the Takarazuka atmosphere. The Takarazuka Grand Theater is right next to the hotel, so I took a look inside. I also encountered the 'cannon brigade' waiting for the actors on their way to work. It seems that 98% of the audience are women. The weather was great, with clear blue skies and the beautiful scenery of Takarazuka all around. Around 9:55 AM, I headed to the hotel. There were already more than 7-8 groups waiting. The lounge is called Renaissance, and the hotel building itself is a perfect embodiment of the Renaissance style. I have a hobby of browsing the official websites of Japanese hotels to look at the lists of hotels within the same group. The parent company of this hotel is quite interesting. It's part of the Hankyu Group, a hotel chain that anyone who has traveled to Osaka might have heard of. It seems railway companies are indeed wealthy. I've stayed at many Hankyu hotels that don't have 'Hankyu' in their names, such as Remm Kagoshima, JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu, Tokushima, Imabari Kokusai Hotel, and Dai-ichi Hotel Ryogoku.🤣 I've also enjoyed afternoon tea at the two Clement locations and Takamatsu Kokusai Hotel. This was just a fun little hotel exploration moment. Even though it was 10 AM on a weekday, quite a few stylish people were enjoying afternoon tea. The theme of the afternoon tea was autumn, fitting for the season. The menu started with a seasonal dessert and an antipasto service. Then came the three-tier tray, which included two types of savory items, six types of sweets, and two stick-shaped scones. The dessert-focused menu was well-suited for the morning. When participating in more than two sessions in a day, I always check for simplified menus and plan my movements in advance before making reservations. It was a delightful way to start the morning. Thank you.

A highly popular restaurant located in Takarazuka City 🍽️ You can enjoy a course lunch for 2,450 yen (excluding tax), which is such a delight 💖 Every dish had perfectly balanced sauces and spices, making them incredibly delicious! ----------------------------------------------- 📍 3-14-13 Kiyoshikojin, Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture 🕰️ Mon, Tue 11:30-13:30, Sat, Sun 11:30-15:30 -----------------------------------------------

I went to a restaurant called "Kaeundae" in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture. 📍1-11-1 Kiyoharajin, Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture This is a Korean restaurant located a 2-minute walk from Kiyoharajin Station. I visited on a weekday evening, and it was crowded! The name of the restaurant is the name of a place in Busan, Korea, and I ordered Nakkopsae, a specialty of Busan. Nakkopsae is a spicy hotpot filled with seafood, and it was very delicious! I also ordered chijimi and ganjang chicken, and everything was delicious and I was very satisfied! The staff were very kind, and it's close to the station, so I'd like to go again!

I visited 'Shichinia Shokudo,' a charming restaurant located in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture. 📍 Address: 3-14-13 Kiyoshikojin, Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture This stylish restaurant is an 8-minute walk from Kiyoshikojin Station. I made a reservation before visiting! The restaurant features a menu where seasonal vegetables take center stage, from appetizers with around 15 types of fresh vegetables to soup, homemade focaccia, main dishes, and pasta. Course Menu (May) ✔︎ Spring Vegetables and Bonito ✔︎ Roasted New Onions with Broad Bean Paste ✔︎ Grilled Chicken with Watercress ✔︎ Carbonara ✔︎ Homemade Sourdough Focaccia Each dish was incredibly delicious, with meats and fish carefully selected to complement the seasonal vegetables. This is a place you can enjoy throughout the year, and I definitely want to visit again.

If you're a fan of manga or anime, this is a must-visit spot! Located near Hankyu Takarazuka Minamiguchi Station (about a 10–15 minute walk), the entrance fee is 700 yen. The museum features a rich collection of original manuscripts and video introductions. In the basement, you can even experience animation effects through computer operations. It's truly a worthwhile destination! Nearby, there's also the Takarazuka Grand Theater, making it perfect for a full-day itinerary!

Nakayama-dera Temple is located in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture. This temple is said to be very beneficial for prayers for safe childbirth, fertility, and shrine visits. There are many visitors, including pregnant women and couples with babies. To pray, you write your wish on a bib and apply for a prayer. There are water flute and rice cracker stalls set up in the temple grounds, making it a great place for sightseeing. At the entrance to the temple, straw sandals (on which you write your wish and hang it up like an ema plaque) are sold to people with bad legs or those praying for foot-related issues, such as wanting to run faster.

☕️《Hyogo/Takarazuka》 While I was on the Takarazuka line, I remembered this coffee shop at Yamamoto Station and decided to stop by.😍 I had been interested in it but never had a chance to go, so this was my first visit.☕️✨ The building is cute, and the light coming in is also nice.🙌 There are miscellaneous goods in the store, and although they are under construction, they will also have an underground area.☺️✨ It was close to closing time, so there were no other customers, and it was nice to be able to relax.🥰 However, I didn't have much time, so I'd like to stop by again if I'm in the area! The latte and cookies were delicious🤤✨ —————————— ✔︎ Youdoknow coffeeAddress | 2-9-3 Yamamoto Higashi, Takarazuka cityOpen | 11:00-16:00Closed | TuesdayAccess | 4 minutes walk from Hankyu Yamamoto station #Hyogo#Takarazuka #youdoknowcoffee #hyogocafe #Kansai gourmet#Hyogo cafe#Takarazuka gourmet#Takarazuka cafe#Takarazuka coffee#Takarazuka sweets#Takarazuka takeout#Yamamoto cafe#Yamamoto gourmet#Hankyu line cafe#Hankyu line gourmet#Nakayamadera cafe#Nakayamadera gourmet#Itami cafe#Itami gourmet#Kawanishi cafe#Kawanishi gourmet

#IntroducingBreathtakingViewsInJapan The god of Takarazuka There are many shrines, but when building a house, people pray to this god. Then, a ground-breaking ceremony is held so that the god will protect the house. When a ground-breaking ceremony is not held, the god's amulet is placed on the roof of the house for protection. A New Year's prayer and Early spring plum blossoms and fresh flowers beautifully displayed at the purification basin.
