Hotter Mt Rokko

  A web page says, "Are you interested in living in Ashiya, Shukugawa, or Kurakuen? Those areas are one of the best high-class quiet residential neighborhoods where you can find considerable boutiques and restaurants which enable you to live fashionablly. We introduce you housing and shopping information to help you spend your desirable life here." In a word, those areas are for establishments and establishmentarians.
The areas seemed to be under renewal. Some establishment residences have given their ways to newly built apartment buildings ('mansions' in Japanese terminlogy) to supply rooms to establishmentarians. That causes more cars. It needs to widen roads. More destruction of some other residences. Although we picked up Shukugawa route to drive up Mt Rokko this summer, it was far after passing Shukugawa that we found the atmosphere quiet. For establishmentarians, to be establishments might be a mirage.
