It looks like all locations of “Nescafé Stand,” including the one at Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station, will be closing one after another. The Hankyu Ashiyagawa location is scheduled to close on Monday, July 31.

“Nescafé Stand Hankyu Ashiyagawa” is a coffee stand located on the Osaka-Umeda-bound platform at Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station.
It was handy when you wanted to grab a warm drink before heading out to Umeda, Nishinomiya, or elsewhere, so this is sad news!
Here’s the map↓
The address is 1-10 Nishiyamacho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Finally
↑ You can drink Nescafé coffee and other beverages at “ASHIYA Cafe supported by NESCAFE” on the 1st floor of Ashiya City Hall, so after this location closes, you may still be able to enjoy the same taste there. (They’re currently in a pre-opening phase after reopening, with only five drink options available.)
When I think of Nescafé, I’m a fan of Milo, so I hope they’ll serve Milo again at “ASHIYA Cafe” too. I’d better go have one last Milo at the Ashiyagawa “Nescafé Stand” before it closes.
