The convenience store “Lawson Kobe Fukae Kitamachi 2-chome”, located near Hanshin Fukae Station along the Naruo-Mikage Line, across from Higashinada Elementary School, is apparently closing at around 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 31.
↑ A notice about the closure had been posted. A closing sale was also being held inside the store, and there weren’t many items left.

↑ It’s on the first floor of a two-story building on the northeast corner of the intersection of the Naruo-Mikage Line and Fukae Kansen (Fudaba-suji). On the second floor is “Galileo,” an after-school day service facility.
↑ If you go this way (east), you’ll find places like “Kirindo Higashinada Fukae,” “Le Cercle,” “Taiho Gyoza,” and “Lawson Kobe Fukae Kitamachi 1-chome.” This is the direction toward Ashiya City.
↑ If you go the opposite way (west), you’ll find places like “Amagasaki Shinkin Bank Fukae Branch,” “Sugi Pharmacy Hanshin Fukae,” and “Yakiniku no Gyuta Honjin Fukae.” This is the direction toward Hanshin Fukae Station.

Lastly
It feels like it was just recently that “Lawson Ashiya Ekimae-dori” along the street in front of JR Ashiya Station also closed at the end of April.
Since it’s in such a convenient location close to both the station and the elementary school, it’s a shame to see it close… Nearby convenience stores include “FamilyMart Higashinada Honjocho,” “Lawson Fukae Honmachi 3-chome,” and “Lawson Kobe Fukae Kitamachi 1-chome,” so those seem like good alternatives.
