It looks like the drugstore “Sugi Pharmacy Ashiya Kurekawacho Store” along Hanamizuki-dori in Kurekawacho will open from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 1!

It’s scheduled to open inside the newly built medical mall “Ashiya Kurekawa Medical Terrace,” and it will apparently be Sugi Pharmacy’s first location in Ashiya City.
It looks like it will open as both a regular drugstore and an insurance dispensing pharmacy!
↑ The exterior of “Ashiya Kurekawa Medical Terrace,” where “Sugi Pharmacy Ashiya Kurekawacho Store” will open on the first floor.
Until recently, it had been covered with soundproofing sheets, but those have been removed and the exterior is now visible.
↑ It looks like it will open around the corner section on the first floor of the L-shaped building. Facing the building, the left side seems to be the drugstore, and the right side looks like the dispensing pharmacy.
↑ In addition to Sugi Pharmacy (dispensing pharmacy), the signs also showed an otolaryngology clinic and an internal medicine clinic on the second floor. It seems that a dermatology clinic and orthopedic clinic are also planned to open.
