Area around “TSUTAYA Shukugawa Store”
↑It’s located along National Route 2, right near the border between Ashiya City and Nishinomiya City. To the left as you face it is “Jolly Pasta Ashiya Store.”
↑If you head this way (east), you’ll find Soba Taikotei, Ringer Hut, Super Life, and the road toward Shukugawa.
↑If you go the opposite way (west), you’ll enter Ashiya City right away. There’s the steak restaurant “Volks,” Kusu Children’s Park, McDonald’s, and more.
↑Across the street is “2nd STREET Ashiya Store.”
There will be a used goods sale after the closing date
According to information sent to our sister site Nishinomiya Tsushin, a used goods sale will be held after the store closes〜
Maybe they’ll be selling DVDs, manga, and other items that were used for rentals? If there’s something you want at the store, you might be able to get it for a good deal!
Finally
With online rentals and subscription services now in full swing, rental video, DVD, and CD shops have really become much fewer in number〜. Ashiya City no longer has any “TSUTAYA” locations, but Nishinomiya City does seem to have “TSUTAYA Nishinomiya Yakushi-cho Store”.
