It looks like the passageway outside the ticket gates inside JR Ashiya Station will be closed during late-night hours from Monday, August 22 to mid-September!

↑ After exiting the ticket gates, the passageway on the right toward Mont et Mer will be closed only during late-night hours!
The closure will be from 12:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m., so anyone using JR Ashiya Station late at night will need to take a detour.

The address is 1-30 Funadocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Information Around the Passageway Being Closed

↑ The area to the right after exiting the ticket gates, toward “Mont et Mer” and “LaPorte” (the north exit side), will be closed.

↑ Seen from the Mont et Mer side, the closure starts from the area beyond the temporary toilets.
Lastly
This is a spot with quite a lot of foot traffic during the day, so I was worried it would be inconvenient if it were closed, but it’s a relief that the closure is only during late-night hours. Still, it could be a hassle for anyone using the station late at night. Please take care!
