They had turned orange like this.
On the map, it’s around here↓
It’s around the entrance to Honwaka Shopping Street from the Route 2 side.
Even the area with lettering on it had been painted over. I wonder what the letters say. Koshienguchi Hondori Shopping Street? Something like that.
Some parts had been painted white too. Maybe orange will be painted over this later?
The unpainted parts look like this. It seems the north side will be painted later.

On the south side, it looks like even all the white parts had been painted orange.
During Christmas↓
During this past Christmas season, it looked nice and clean like this.
I wonder when the whole thing will be orange.
Nishinomiya Tsushin, thank you for covering even the small details.
The rust had become noticeable, so we painted it during Golden Week. So far, only the road-facing side is done, but the shop-facing side is scheduled to be completed around the end of the rainy season.⤴︎⤴︎ https://t.co/tifKukqhjq

So they painted it during Golden Week because the rust had become noticeable. The shop side is apparently scheduled to be finished after the rainy season.
