Matsuya Tarumi Store Reopens Today at 3:00 PM After About 15 Days of Closure

Matsuya Tarumi Store (No. 0867, 1F La Mer Tarumi, 3-18 Kandacho, Tarumi-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture) reopened at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, July 14. On the same day, the temporary closure notice attached to the store’s name on the official Matsuya website was removed, returning it to its normal listing. The reopening comes after a closure of about 15 days that began at 3:00 PM on Monday, June 29, with 24-hour operation also returning to normal.

Reopening on the Schedule Announced on June 15

The Tarumi store’s closure was not sudden — it had been announced in advance. As of Monday, June 15, the store’s listing on the official website carried a notice reading “Temporarily closed from 3:00 PM on June 29, reopening at 3:00 PM on July 14,” spelling out the exact dates for both the closure and the reopening.

The actual timeline unfolded exactly as announced, as shown below.

Date	Status
Monday, June 15	Announcement: “Temporarily closed from 3:00 PM on June 29, reopening at 3:00 PM on July 14”
3:00 PM, Monday, June 29	Temporary closure begins
3:00 PM, Tuesday, July 14	Reopens; closure notice removed from store listing, returning to normal

Temporary closures like this are set fairly often across Matsuya locations, ranging from just a few days at the shortest to around three weeks at the longest, though most fall around two weeks. The Tarumi store’s roughly 15-day closure sits right at that typical range, suggesting a closure for equipment updates or renovation rather than a full rebuild.

The Only Matsuya in Tarumi Ward, Kobe

The Tarumi store is the only Matsuya located in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City. There are no other Matsuya, Matsunoya, or My Curry Shokudo locations in the ward, making it the sole option for Matsuya in the area. That makes the roughly two-week closure a period likely to have had a meaningful impact on local customers.

It is a standalone Matsuya store without a co-located Matsunoya or My Curry Shokudo, operating on a 24-hour basis. Located on the first floor of La Mer Tarumi, it has returned to round-the-clock operation with the reopening. Hyogo Prefecture has 36 Matsuya locations in total, with the Tarumi store among them.

Other Temporary Closures Running in Parallel

At the exact same time the Tarumi store closed (3:00 PM on June 29), Matsuya Sone Store (No. 0932, co-located with a Matsunoya) also entered a temporary closure. Sone Store’s reopening is scheduled for 6:00 PM on Wednesday, July 15, running one day behind the Tarumi store.

Additionally, just the day before, on Monday, July 13, Matsuya Okayama Ekinishiguchi Store reopened after a temporary closure of about 13 days. Similar closures and reopenings have been occurring one after another across the country, and the Tarumi store’s return is part of that same trend.
