Hanshin
proper noun
The slopes of the gods! What could this be? Well, it's mainly just a company, known as Hanshin. They're based in the area between Osaka and Kobe. Think of it this way: 大阪 + 神戸 = 阪神! They're everywhere, though, and even have a baseball team (the Hanshin Tigers), so it's good to know.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
