↑Here’s a look at the planned opening site. It’s probably the spot where the izakaya “Tokiya” used to be.
“hola” was previously located on B1F of La Forne Ashiya in Oharacho, and it appears to be relocating and reopening with a fresh new look.
It’s around here on the map↓
The address is 1F Alpa Ashiya, 1-25 Funadocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
↑Apparently, it’s an affiliated restaurant of the Chinese restaurant “CHI・i・NA”, which is also located in Alpa Ashiya.
What’s around “hola”
It looks like the shop will be on the 1st floor of Alpa Ashiya, northwest of JR Ashiya Station, two units down from the Yamato Transport office.
If you head this way west, you’ll find the affiliated restaurant “CHI・i・NA,” the Indian restaurant “Nawa Shanti,” the salad shop with its own farm, ta, City Lights（芦屋べびか）, Ashiya Shokudo manchos!, and more.
If you head the other way east, you’ll find places like the udon and soba shop “Takoyoshi”, and you’ll arrive at the area in front of JR Ashiya Station, where Laporte and Mont et Mer are located.
Across Ekimae-dori, there are places such as the meat bar “Jackson’s N.Y.DINER”.
Final thoughts
It’s exciting to see another new shop coming to Alpa Ashiya, which already has lots of restaurants!
Authentic Chinese cuisine, dim sum, and wine… that sounds pretty stylish!
