JR　Ashiya　Station

Most people living in Kansai district think Ashiya is the place for rich people.
Actually upper side of this station there are a lot of large beautiful houses.
All rapid trains stop at this station, so it is very convenient.
Around the station, one department store and one shopping mall and one good hotel are there.
But most shops are closed very early and after 9 o’clock you feel inconvenient to find restaurants.
芦屋と聞けばお金持ちの住むところ、と思うのが関西人。
実際、山手側は大きなお家が並びます。
快速、新快速も止まるの出で、非常に便利な駅でもあります。
駅前にはデパート、ショッピングモール、ホテルがありますが、どのお店も閉まるのが早い。
9時を過ぎると食事場所にも困るんじゃないかと思います。
