When most people think of Takarazuka, they think of the Takarazuka Revue, but surprisingly, there are not only operas, but also hot springs, memorial halls, and other attractions around Takarazuka Station. After the performance in Takarazuka, why don't you take a walk around the city from a different side with a tour guide? There will surely be new discoveries! ~Time schedule~ 13:00 [Meet in front of the Hankyu Takarazuka station ticket gate] The tour starts here! Although the road is flat, you will walk about 2 kilometers, so please wear comfortable shoes on the day. 13:10 [Birthplace of Carbonated Rice Crackers and Wilkinson Vending Machine] The popular carbonated water "Wilkinson Tansan" when drinking a highball. Did you know that this "Wilkinson Tansan" originated in Takarazuka? In front of Takarazuka Onsen, there is an all-Wilkinson vending machine only here in Japan. 13:20 [Takarazuka Onsen Hotel Wakamizu] During the Showa era, Takarazuka Family Land and hot springs were located along the Muko River, and it was a prosperous resort. There are only a few hotels in operation now, but the atmosphere of the hot spring town of yesteryear still lingers in the air. 13:40 [Takarazuka Ohashi] After passing Takarazuka Onsen, a large tower apartment is currently under construction on the site where the "Takarazuka Hotel", which was founded in 1923, used to be. Please take a look at the town of Takarazuka, which has been renewed with the changing times. The view from Takarazuka Bridge is a great photo spot. The set of Takarazuka Opera, Hankyu Railway and Mukogawa can only be seen here. The sidewalk of Ohashi is also spacious, so you can take pictures slowly. (Every 30 minutes on the hour, the fountain "Big Phoenix" rises from the Muko River, so if you're lucky, you can see it.) 13:55 [Tezuka Osamu Memorial Museum] Did you know that Mr. Osamu Tezuka was actually from Takarazuka? Uka Born in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture in 1928, I lived in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture from the age of 5, when I was just starting to understand things, to my sensitive boyhood, and until I was about to enter adulthood when I was 24. A museum has been built in Takarazuka to commemorate his achievements, not only as a city where he once lived, but also as a city that gave the underlying theme of all Tezuka manga. 14:40 [Hana no Michi] I think it goes without saying for Takarazuka fans, but it seems that Hana no Michi also means a flower path to the Takarazuka Grand Theater. It is truly a “flower path to the world of dreams”. There are bronze statues of opera performances such as "The Rose of Versailles" and a bronze statue of "Ichizo Kobayashi", the founder of Hankyu Corporation and the Takarazuka Revue. 14:50 [Takarazuka Hotel] There is a newly relocated Takarazuka Hotel in the middle of Hananomichi. In 2009, the Takarazuka Hotel was selected as the official hotel of the Takarazuka Grand Theater with the concept of "continuing your dreams here." Please take a look at the dignified appearance. 15:00 [Arrival at Takarazuka Station]
