Why You Should Visit

Winter display, built around a winter tree about 8 meters tall, is on at the Main Entrance on the 2nd floor of the Main Building of Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens from November 4 to December 25, 2026. This year's theme is "a special time connected by light," and the tree changes its look between November and December: strings of light in November, then a holiday-season design in December, when a photo spot is added. The mall is a 3-minute walk from the east ticket gate of Hankyu Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station.

NOTE

How the tree changes

November: a design of linked strings of light
December: a holiday-season design, with a photo spot added
