“Ashicafé” originally operated on the Ashiya University campus as part of an industry–government–academia collaboration involving Ashiya City, Ashiya University, and Work Cube. Starting in December, it will apparently relocate and reopen inside Ashiya Municipal Hospital.
It looks like the café will serve a buffet-style breakfast as well as lunch options featuring a choice of Japanese or Western cuisine!

“Ashicafé” will also hold a soft opening during the Hospital Festa, which will take place at Ashiya Municipal Hospital from noon to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 15. It sounds like you’ll be able to check out the new café while enjoying the various activities and health screenings.

The opening date has finally been set for the new café-restaurant taking over the former “Café de Blanche” space, which closed at the end of September! Hospital cafés are incredibly useful when you’re visiting for an appointment, seeing a patient, or accompanying someone having surgery, so many people have probably been eagerly awaiting its return.
