Lots of stuffs to buy. They have spacious parking

This a good place to get books, rent movies and CDs, and pick up basic stationary. Unfortunately, they are too pushy about automation checkout processes. It would be better to have a larger staff and less machines.

Nice place lots of movies music and books

My initial reason for visiting was that I wanted to rent CDs. However, perhaps due to current trends, the rental shelves were crammed in, and it didn't meet my expectations at all. In Machida, the station-front store is closing soon (scheduled for July 2026), so rentals are quite difficult. In Sagami-Ono, the next station over, they've merged with Book Off and started selling plastic models, but their rental shelves are still shrinking. The store has the feel of a suburban bookstore, plus a design that shows support for the Machida soccer team. They also have a good selection of stationery. While the limited CD rental selection was disappointing, having a bookstore nearby is very important for the local community. I sincerely hope they can survive, even if it means changing their approach or offering different products.

The first floor houses general merchandise, stationery, books, and magazines. The second floor is dedicated to rentals and comics. The layout is easy to understand, and there are plenty of sections dedicated to teams and artists associated with Machida. The store also has a large and convenient parking lot.
