At JR Musashi-Koganei Station, there are two ticket gates: the "Central Ticket Gate," which has a bus terminal, and the "nonowa Ticket Gate," which leads to the station's commercial facility, nonowa.
To get to nonowa WEST, go straight ahead after exiting the nonowa ticket gate.
And, there's a seating area near the pillars of the central floor event space, next to 3COINS and PIER'S CAFE.
There are three 2-seater sofa benches.
This seating area is located right next to the ticket gates, making it easily accessible from Musashi-Koganei Station.
It's a small space, and the width of the passage isn't very wide, so it felt a bit restless.
You can go to Don Quijote and Ito-Yokado from nonowa WEST, so there's quite a lot of foot traffic.
However, because of its good access from the station, I think it's convenient as a meeting spot in Musashi-Koganei.
Also, because it's called an event space, it seems that sweets and miscellaneous goods stores sometimes open there.
As for the congestion situation, it was almost full, and I managed to take a photo at the moment a family moved, haha!
In addition, "MUSAKO GARDEN" opened in April 2018 at the end of nonowa WEST.
Nitori is located in MUSAKO GARDEN, and most people visit it via this seating area, so the benches tend to be crowded.
That being said, there are also many benches nearby at "Musako Garden Nonomichi," so be sure to check them out.
Also, if you're looking for a meeting spot in Musashi-Koganei, "Festival Court benches" are also recommended!
Why not use it as a seating area in Musashi-Koganei when shopping at nonowa?
