It looks like a three-story building with retail shops and clinics will be built near Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station, along the Okuyama Seido Line in Higashi-Ashiyacho, behind Yamate Yume Nursery School.
↑A construction planning sign was posted. The listed use is “stores including retail sales, clinics (3 units)”. The planned construction period is from March to September next year, so it looks like construction won’t begin for a little while yet.

↑A pay-by-the-hour parking lot, “Times Higashi-Ashiya No. 2,” is currently operating at this location.
Here is the map↓
The address is 9-4 Higashi-Ashiyacho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Surrounding Area of the Planned Retail Shop and Clinic Site
↑If you go this way (north), you’ll find photo studio “fhans Ashiya” (closing on 11/30), Kaimori Bridge, Wright Slope, Yodoko Guest House, Ashiya City Yamate Elementary School, and more.
↑If you go the opposite way (south), you’ll find the Italian restaurant “Innocente,” the fried bread specialty shop “Paiku to Sora,” the elevated tracks of the Hankyu Kobe Line, and more.
↑Across the street, there is “Yamate Yume Nursery School” and a stone monument for “The Makioka Sisters,” among other things.
In Closing
Since clinics and retail shops will be moving in, could this end up feeling like a small medical mall? But the retail shop might not necessarily be a pharmacy or drugstore…? Since it’s right near a nursery school, it would be convenient if there were something like a pediatric clinic.
