Finally
A long-established bookstore has reopened after renovations, and a mountain climbing support base has opened inside too. That’s great news for both book lovers and mountain climbing fans!
The Ashiyagawa area is apparently a gateway to several popular hiking routes in the Rokko mountain range. Stop by this base before your hike to pick up mountain gear or trail snacks, and enjoy a comfortable climb〜
