A fried chicken specialty shop, “Kishikara Ashiya,” is apparently scheduled to open around late July in Kamimiyagawa-cho, near JR Ashiya Station!

↑ A job listing was posted! It looks like this will be a shop where you can not only get takeout, but also dine in, with 10 counter seats and 14 table seats.

↑ “Kishikara” is a fried chicken specialty shop with nine locations mainly in Kobe City, and there is also a nearby location close to JR Konan-Yamate Station. In addition to takeout options such as various fried chicken items, bento boxes, and fried chicken rice bowls, the dine-in menu includes set meals with free rice refills.

Here’s the map↓
The address is 1F Dai 19 Prosper Ashiya, 2-8 Kamimiyagawa-cho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Area around “Kishikara Ashiya”

↑ It’s on the first floor of a building about a 3-minute walk southeast from JR Ashiya Station. On the first floor of the same building, “Trattoria & Bar VITO” and the snack bar “Akai Ribbon” are operating, while on the second floor there are places such as the French restaurant “Chez vous” and “Y’z Gym.”

↑ If you head this way, north, you’ll find places like “Tokyo Taishi Gakuen Ashiya School” and “Ashiya Bebika.” After passing under the elevated JR Kobe Line tracks, you’ll come out at the Ohara-cho intersection on Ekimae-dori, at the eastern edge of Mont et Mer and Laporte.

↑ If you head the opposite way, south, you’ll find the recycle shop “Ashiya ARTE,” and then reach National Route 2 at the Kamimiyagawa-cho Nishi intersection. Across the national road are places like “Lawson Store 100 Ashiya Miyazuka-cho” and “Ashiya Miyazuka Post Office.”

↑ Across the street is a bicycle parking lot.
In closing
The space where “Livemax” used to be had quietly become empty, so we were wondering what would happen to it. And now, unexpectedly, it’s going to be a fried chicken specialty shop! It seems like it will be especially welcome for students and anyone looking for a hearty meal!
Sasako, thank you for the tip!!
