↑ The building is on the east bank of the Ashiyagawa River. Renaissance Classics Ashiya Luna Hall is just to the north.
↑ If you go this way, north, you’ll find Fureai Bridge, which crosses the JR railway tracks. Farther along are places like Terrasse Daniel and Boulangerie wada.
↑ If you go the opposite way, south, you’ll reach National Route 2 and Narihira Bridge.
Finally
↑ Since it was the New Year, there was a “Geishun” New Year greeting sign in front of the Civic Center.
According to an article by Kobe Shimbun NEXT, Belle Pot Ashiya is operated by Branding Ashiya, a general incorporated association launched by former staff members of Kitchen Cafe Narihira. It’s nice to see it brought back by the same staff!
