A notice posted near the ticket gates at JR Ashiya Station announced that a giant mosaic artwork has been installed on the south side of the station.

Wondering where exactly the “wall on the south side” was, we headed out of the south exit and took a look around…
↑We found it right next to the elevator!
↑From a distance, it looks like a rendering of the completed station building, but…
↑Take a closer look, and…
↑It is made up of photos of people and scenery connected to the city of Ashiya! So this is the mosaic artwork!
↑Comparing the current station building with the rendering, it is clear that there is still quite a bit of construction to go.
Next time you head out of the station’s south exit, why not take a moment to get a closer look at this mosaic artwork?
