Musashi-Mizonokuchi Station is on the Nambu Line, and Mizonokuchi Station is on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Oimachi Line. The ticket gates are connected by a pedestrian deck.
There are many variations in the spelling of "Mizonokuchi," such as Mizonokuchi, Mizonokuchi, and Mizoguchi... Which one is correct!?!
Well, when you walk on the pedestrian deck in front of Musashi-Mizonokuchi Station, you will find a place where you can sit and take a break!
It seems that a circular space and stools have been set up in the center of the deck.
It is called "Cylinder Square"!
By the way, the roof continues from the station, so you can access Cylinder Square without getting wet...
And, there are eight stone stools.
The tiles at your feet are also arranged in concentric circles!
The day of the investigation was a midsummer day with a temperature of 31°C, but it was partially shaded, so it seems to be usable as a meeting place in Musashi-Mizonokuchi ♪
Oh! I thought it was just a smooth stool, but it also serves as a tourist information for Mizoguchi!
I couldn't take a good picture because of the reflection, but it says "Kano Okamoto's monument" on the seat.
It's not "Futako Shrine," but "Kano Okamoto's monument," so I could easily misread it (laughs).
It seems that if you go 1,400m in the direction of the arrow, there is a monument!
Next, it says "Futako Ferry 1,500m".
It was a ferry on the Tama River that existed until the Taisho era! At that time, it seems that many people used it to travel to and from Edo.
The remaining six stools also have tourist information about Mizoguchi written on them, so enjoy finding out what kind of information there is when you visit ♪
By the way, there is a public toilet near Cylinder Square, and it is a pedestrian deck with good facilities.
Speaking of which... I think this is the first time I've seen a public toilet on a pedestrian deck! I think it's rare!
There are Marui and Nokuti, so it seems to be good for meeting up or taking a break when shopping in Mizonokuchi.
You may also be able to use it when you want to quickly eat an onigiri or a lunch box near Mizonokuchi Station.
So, why not use it as a rest area where you can sit down around Musashi-Mizonokuchi Station?
