It looks like the “Nishikita Group No-Brush Car Wash” in Ashihara-cho along the Yamate Kansen is undergoing expansion work.
Here it is↓
There used to be an auto body repair shop called Garage Treasure here. (Google Street View)

Around the Nishikita Group No-Brush Car Wash
Across the street, there is a laundromat and a rice-polishing station operated by the same Nishikita Group.
If you go this way, you’ll find the planned Life construction site, and if you keep going, you’ll reach Route 171.
If you go the other way, there’s an EDION, and it leads toward Nishinomiya Gardens.
Probably a wipe-down space??
Since more and more cars have coatings these days, I imagine there’s growing demand for no-brush car washes.
The space toward the back of this photo is under construction, so I’m guessing they may be adding a wipe-down area.
I looked up Nishikita Group online
This Nishikita Group also runs the laundromat and rice-polishing station across the street.
I tried looking for their website.
www.nishikita-group.com
“Oh, they do have a website!”
So I clicked it↓
But I couldn’t view it, probably because of some kind of domain settings issue.
When I checked it on the Wayback Machine (a time-machine tool for websites), I was able to view it!
And it turns out they operate four businesses: rice polishing, laundry, car washing, and climbing!
Sorry it’s a little hard to see. The facility on the right is where you can go climbing↓
Still, car washing, laundry, and rice polishing are all kind of washing-related? Or cleaning-related? But the fact that climbing is included in that lineup is pretty amazing!
The climbing costs just 300 yen per session, which is very cheap, and it seems to have a solid reputation for being quite challenging.

Finally
I’m really hoping we’ll get news about Nishikita Group’s fifth new business category someday! Some people may point out that, despite being called Nishikita Group, we’ve categorized the area as JR Nishinomiya, but that’s because for now, Nishitsu assigns areas based on our own standards. Sorry about that.
