It looks like a new retail store is planned near “Co-op Uchidehama” in the Uchide area, Daitocho.
（Information provided by Nicopapa）
↑A construction plan sign had been posted at the planned site. It says it will be a “store engaged in retail sales,” and it looks like it will be a one-story steel-frame building.
The developer is “Kanden Realty & Development Co., Ltd.”（You may know them from their TV commercials）. The planned construction period is from January 5 to May 15 next year.
↑Here’s what the planned construction site looks like. It’s on a corner lot about a 2-minute walk northeast of “Co-op Uchidehama,” which is scheduled to close next March. It seems this used to be the site of the “Kansai Electric Power Uchide Company Housing.”
Here’s the map↓
The address is 8-1 Daitocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Area around the Planned Retail Store Site
↑If you go this way, to the east, you’ll find the Horikiri River and “Horikiri Sakura Park” in Nishinomiya City.
↑If you go the opposite way, to the west, you’ll find “Fitness-style Day Service Noblesse,” the Ejiri River Greenway and Ejiri River Wakakusa-dori, “Ashiya Municipal Seido Junior High School,” and more.
↑If you go this way, to the south, and turn right at the next corner, you’ll find “Co-op Uchidehama” and “Frontage Ashiya (Ashiyahama Center).”
↑If you go the opposite way, to the north, you’ll reach National Route 43.
Finally
Since the nearby Co-op is closing next March, it would be nice if something like a supermarket that could take its place opened here. As soon as we find out more about what kind of retail store it will be, we’ll let you know on Ashitsuu!
