Area around “Welcia Ashiya Kusunoki Store”

↑ In the front right as you face it is “Athlon Junior Sports Club Ashiya Gym.”

↑ If you go this way (west), next door is “Kentucky Fried Chicken,” and beyond that are “Nigiri Chojiro Ashiya,” the French restaurant “Chez Mori,” “Gusto Ashiya,” and more.

↑ If you go the opposite way (east), you’ll find “Rokko Miso Manufacturing,” a gas station, Kusunoki Children’s Park, “Jolly Pasta Ashiya,” and then you enter Nishinomiya City.

↑ Across the street is a medical mall with “Futatsuka Pharmacy,” “Miyazaki Internal Medicine Clinic,” and others. Diagonally across to the left is also “McDonald’s Ashiya Uchide.”
Finally
As you can see from the photos, it’s an extremely large building, so maybe there will be shops other than Welcia inside too…? Even if Welcia takes just one floor, it looks like it will be a pretty big store! Expectations are high for the opening sale too!
