Near JR Ashiya Station, along Yamate Kansen, it looks like a condominium with restaurants and an exhibition space will be built on the former site of a parking lot.

↑The construction planning notice. It will be a 5-story reinforced concrete building, and its listed uses are “restaurants, exhibition space, and apartment housing.” The owner is “株式会社 鶴鳴荘.” Construction is scheduled to run until October 15 next year.

↑The planned construction site. This is where the parking lot “Park Field Ashiya Oharacho” used to be.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 13-23 Oharacho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Area around the planned 5-story condominium site

↑If you go this way (east), you’ll reach Shinnozuka Bridge over the Miyagawa River, toward Shinnozukacho, Midorigaokacho, and Shukugawa.

↑If you go the other way (west), you’ll find places like “Mitsubishi UFJ Bank Ashiya Branch,” “Au Bon Sandwich Bigot,” and “GLOSA ORGANIC ASHIYA,” and you’ll come out in front of JR Ashiya Station where “Laporte” is located.

↑Across the street, there are places like “Organic Bazaar Ashiya.”
Finally
It’ll probably feel like there are shops on the first floor and apartments above. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of restaurant and exhibition space—or maybe gallery?—will move in!
