It looks like “Organic Plaza La Mole Ashiya,” currently getting ready to open on the 1st floor of “La Mole Ashiya” near JR Ashiya Station, is scheduled to open on Monday, September 20 (national holiday).

Since it says “relocation opening,” it seems the current shop in front of JR Ashiya Station will be closing. Wonder what will happen to the old location…?

Area Around “Organic Plaza La Mole Ashiya”
On the left as you face it is “Sumioka Dental Oral Surgery.”
If you head this way (west) along Ekimae-dori, you’ll reach the area in front of JR Ashiya Station, where “Laporte” and “Mont et Mer” are located. A little farther west is “ARPA Ashiya,” which has many restaurants on the 1st floor.
If you go the other way (east), you’ll find the grocery store “Honoka no Kajitsu JR Ashiya” and the bakery and cafe “Rios La Mole”. Farther along are “Miyagawa Keyaki-dori” and “Kami-Miyagawa Bridge,” which crosses the Miyagawa River.
Across the street is a combined storefront with the cake shop and cafe “Licorne Ashiya Main Store” and the Korean fried chicken specialty shop “Cheil Chicken Ashiya”.
Final Thoughts
The entrance looked a bit small, but when I peeked inside, the shop seemed to extend pretty far back!
It sounds like there will be opening sales and campaigns, so once it opens, we’ll definitely want to check it out!
