↑ The exterior of the future “Leopon” location. Interior construction was underway.

↑ Next door in the same building is the tuna specialty shop “鮪の中央 芦屋営業所”.

Here’s the map ↓

The address is 101 Cello Casa Ashiya, 12-4 Kasuga-cho, Ashiya, Hyogo.

What’s Around “Leopon”

↑ It is on the first floor of an apartment building on the south side of the Naruo-Mikage Line, about a five-minute walk east from Hanshin Uchide Station. Immediately to the left is the tuna specialty shop “鮪の中央 芦屋営業所”.

↑ Head this way (west), and you’ll pass “鉄板 じゅうぼん,” the herbal medicine shop “さくら恵比寿堂,” and the pastry shop “maman yuki 芦屋店,” before reaching Hanshin Uchide Station.

↑ Head in the opposite direction (east), and you’ll find “ピザハット 芦屋店,” “江戸前すし 竹,” “夢咲保育園,” and the drugstore “ウエルシア芦屋春日店,” before entering Nishinomiya.

↑ “春日集会所” is diagonally across the street.

Final Thoughts

It looks like the business will operate under the concept of “a dog hotel and salon where even senior dogs and dogs with chronic conditions can feel safe.” They are currently accepting provisional bookings via LINE for tours, short-term daycare, grooming, and other services!
