      Before the 15th century, the city of Nishinomiya was a gathering place for puppet handlers (傀儡師 kugutsu shi). A Shinto shrine in the centre of the city was the focus of their settlements. This shrine, located to the west of Kyoto, is the origin for the name Nishinomiya, whose meaning is the most commonly accepted "a west shrine". The Ebisu deity, who was thought to be a fisherman and to make people's commercial activities successful, was enshrined in the shrine of Nishinomiya.

      In the 18th century, a water spring was discovered near this shrine. Because of the suitableness of this spring's natural water for Japanese sake producing, Nishinomiya became one of the leading communities in it.

      During WWII, this city was suffered from the raids by US military bombers, and most of the city's core business and housing area was devastated. The community immediately began rebuilding. The tragedy served to strengthen, not weaken, the community and by 1980, the city boasted a population of over 400,000, proving that a new city had indeed been born. The city is the setting for much of the Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies.

      There was heavy damage throughout the city from the Great Hanshin Earthquake on 17 January 1995.

      This city is also the setting for the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Remember that while taking pictures of Nishinomiya-Kita High School (where much of the anime is set) from the outside is perfectly legal, entering the gates to take pictures inside is NOT. Hankyu Imazu line is the setting for Hankyu Railway movie[http://hankyudensha-movie.com/], where stations from Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station to Takarazuka Station appear in the movie.
