Area around “Lawson Ashiya Ekimae-dori Store”
↑It’s about a 5-minute walk northeast from JR Ashiya Station, on the north side of Ekimae-dori. To the right is “Ashiya St. Maria Clinic.”
↑If you go this way (west), you’ll find places like “Ono Internal Medicine Clinic,” and you’ll come out in front of JR Ashiya Station, where “Laporte” and “Mont et Mer” are located.
↑If you go the opposite way (east), you’ll find “Nihon Chouzai Ashiya Ekimae Pharmacy,” the jewelry store “CANNAGARA,” “Ohara Park,”
and other places, heading toward the Miyagawa and Shinnozuka-cho area.
↑Across the street is “La Mall Ashiya.”
Finally
In front of the neighboring St. Maria Clinic, there’s a bus stop for the free “Hospital Network Bus,” which circulates to places such as Ashiya Municipal Hospital and the Health and Welfare Center. This convenience store was handy for quick shopping before getting on the bus, so it’s sad to see it close… We’re also curious to see what will happen to the site after it closes.
Thank you, okd, for providing the information and photos!
