The south side of the station is home to the AEON Akashi Shopping Center, which can be accessed via a connecting passage from the station and pedestrian decks linking the various facilities.

Once you exit the 1st Street (Akashi Vivre) on the south side at ground level, you'll find benches with tables where you can sit and face each other. Since it's right in front of an intersection, you might feel a little self-conscious with people watching, but it's a place where you can relax and enjoy a meal.
