Why You Should Visit
Japan Coffee Festival, a touring coffee event held across the country, comes to Takarazuka in collaboration with the works of Osamu Tezuka. Coffee stands spread across three sites — the Takarazuka Arts Center, the Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum and Hananomichi / Sakurabashi Park — and a strip of three coffee tickets lets you compare cups from different shops. The theme draws on Tezuka's late essay collection "Save the Glass Earth." Running six days from Culture Day, it is easy to drop by on a weekday evening, and pairs well with a visit to the museum.
