Area around the planned site of the first NUNA/TAVO store in Japan
↑ If you head this way south along Narihirazakura-dori by the Ashiyagawa River, you’ll find places like “boulangerie wada” and “Terrasse Daniel.” This leads toward Ekimae-dori (Taishobashi Bridge) and National Route 2.
↑ If you go the opposite way north, you’ll find “CHECK&STRIPE fabric&things,” the toy shop “Suomi,” and the area toward Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station.

Final Thoughts
The first Japan store for these stylish stroller and pet cart brands from the Netherlands is opening in Ashiya, of all places! These products seem to place a lot of emphasis on safety and ease of use, so there may be quite a few customers coming from farther away to see them in person.
Once more details such as the exact location and opening date become available, we’ll post a follow-up on Ashitsuu.
