Matsuya Sendai-Ichibancho Store Shifts 0.000001° South in Latitude for the 4th Time — First Time Alone, Cumulative ~44cm South
As of 11:28 AM on June 22, 2026, it was confirmed that the latitude of Matsuya Sendai-Ichibancho Store (No. 2260, Ichibancho, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture) on Matsuya’s official store list had been revised 0.000001° (approx. 11cm) southward. This marks the 4th southward latitude shift for the store, bringing its cumulative movement from the initial value to approximately 44cm south. The store, which had revived alongside 3 other stores after about 43 dormant days just 3 days earlier on June 19, shifted south alone this time — the 9th occurrence in the series overall.

A decrease in the latitude value indicates a shift southward. Taking one degree of latitude as roughly 111km, 0.0000010° corresponds to about 11cm. The longitude remains unchanged at 140.8711560, meaning the shift is a nearly imperceptible move due south.
Latitude History of the Sendai-Ichibancho Store
The store first appeared on the store list on March 28, 2026, with a latitude of 38.2621431 at the time. Since then, it has been shifted south by 0.0000010° on four separate occasions.
| Occurrence | Date Confirmed | Latitude | Cumulative Shift from Initial Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | 2026-03-28 | 38.2621431 | — |
| 1st | 2026-04-25 | 38.2621421 | approx. 11cm south |
| 2nd | 2026-05-07 | 38.2621411 | approx. 22cm south |
| 3rd | 2026-06-19 | 38.2621401 | approx. 33cm south |
| 4th | 2026-06-22 | 38.2621391 | approx. 44cm south |
Looking at the intervals, the gap between the 1st and 2nd occurrences was 12 days, and between the 2nd and 3rd it was 43 days, whereas this time the gap between the 3rd and 4th occurrences was just 3 days — the shortest interval yet for this store’s southward shifts.
Position Within the Overall Southward Shift Series
This series of southward latitude shifts is a continuation of a set of corrections that began with multiple stores simultaneously on April 25, and had reached a total of 8 occurrences as of June 19. The 8th occurrence, on June 19, was the largest in the series to date, involving simultaneous shifts at the No. 8 Nagahama Store (Shiga Prefecture) — which had been dormant for about 43 days — the Sendai-Ichibancho Store, the Shin-Yurigaoka Store (Kanagawa Prefecture), which had joined the series for the first time the previous day, and the ever-present Miyakojima-Tomobuchicho Store (Osaka Prefecture).
This 9th occurrence, by contrast, involved only the Sendai-Ichibancho Store acting alone, with the Miyakojima-Tomobuchicho Store — a regular that had appeared in every previous occurrence — not moving this time. Just three days after the mass revival, only one of the revived stores shifted south again, alone — a changing of hands from what had previously been “the Miyakojima-Tomobuchicho Store continuing solo.”
Editor's Note
Just 3 days after reviving from a 43-day dormancy, the Sendai-Ichibancho Store is already shifting south on its own. This store is suddenly picking up momentum.
