Chuo Line Beer Works will hold its first "Chuo Line Mini Beer Marche" at "Yuyu Plaza" in front of Musashi-Koganei Station on Saturday, May 2, 2026. Three breweries along the line and three restaurants in Koganei City will set up stalls, making it an easy place to enjoy craft beer and food right by the station.
Hop BroOn Saturday, May 2, the first Chuo Line Mini Beer Marche will be held in front of Musashi-Koganei Station, and the best part is that it's just a one-minute walk from the station.
MugiWait, a beer marche right in front of the station!? A one-minute walk venue means you're basically going straight from the ticket gate to a toast!
Hop BroThe stalls will include three breweries along the line - Chuo Line Beer Works, 26K Brewery, and OLDBOYS BREWING - so the lineup really reflects the local character.
MugiWhat's a brewery along the line? Are they brewing with commuter passes or something!? So that's what the Chuo Line connection means?
Hop BroExactly. It means they gather through their shared ties to the Chuo Line, and on top of that, three local food vendors from Koganei - Kunkun, happily pottery, and Wafuu Gelato Okaji TOKYO - will also be there.
MugiPizza, smoked snacks, and gelato? My brain has already started a snack committee! Being able to roam around in a casual food-stroll style sounds amazing!
Hop BroThe venue is an elevated-track plaza next to RAKU SPA Station Musashi-Koganei, and being comfortable even in rainy weather is a quietly strong point too.
MugiSo because it's under the tracks, you can drink with the sound of trains as your background music!? A right-by-the-station venue is so convenient it almost feels unfair!
Hop BroChuo Line Beer Works is JR East Group's first directly operated brewery, and because a former station attendant is working as the brewer to share the region's appeal, the goal of "building bridges to the city" really comes through in this event.
MugiSo it's not just about drinking, but about tasting the whole town too. There's no choice now but to head over for a casual toast!
Chuo Line Beer Works will hold its first-ever "Chuo Line Mini Beer Marche" on Saturday, May 2, from 12:00 to 19:00 at "Yuyu Plaza," a spot a one-minute walk from JR Musashi-Koganei Station. Its official Instagram says that, in addition to the three breweries along the line - Chuo Line Beer Works, 26K Brewery, and OLDBOYS BREWING - three restaurants in Koganei City will also have stalls.
The venue is in the elevated-track area that is easy to reach from both the "North Exit" and "South Exit" of JR Musashi-Koganei Station, in the plaza beside RAKU SPA Station Musashi-Koganei. It is easy to stop by because it is close to the station, and it is also comfortable even in rainy weather. The event is designed to be easy to enjoy not only for people dropping in alone, but also for families and friends.
For food, local Koganei businesses will offer smoked snacks from Kunkun, pizza from happily pottery, and gelato from Wafuu Gelato Okaji TOKYO. Together with beer, the lineup is perfect for casual eating and drinking while you walk around.
Chuo Line Beer Works is JR East Group's first directly operated craft beer brewery, located under the elevated tracks between JR Chuo Line's Higashi-Koganei and Musashi-Koganei stations. A former station attendant turned brewer is working on product development that showcases the region's appeal, and it is also Koganei City's first brewery. The taproom attached to the brewery is operated as a place that connects craft beer with local community exchange.
This mini beer marche can be seen as an attempt to extend that concept into a station-front event. By bringing together breweries along the line and local restaurants, the day is likely to make Chuo Line Beer Works' aim of "building bridges to the city" even more visible.
