First of the Three Stores That Shortened Hours Together on April 17 to Return
Shin-Koenji Store was one of three stores — along with Kanda Ogawamachi Store and Shinjuku 1-chome Store — that ended 24-hour operation and switched to shortened hours on April 17, 2026. This time, Shin-Koenji Store alone has returned to 24-hour operation about 28 days later. The remaining two stores continue to operate shortened hours from 9 AM to 10 PM as of today.
| Store | Hours After April 17 Switch | As of May 15, 2026 | 24-Hour Operation Restored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuya Shin-Koenji Store (0273) | 8 AM to 10 PM | 24-hour operation | Restored (May 15) |
| Matsuya Kanda Ogawamachi Store (0272) | 9 AM to 10 PM | 9 AM to 10 PM | Not yet restored |
| Matsuya Shinjuku 1-chome Store (0499) | 9 AM to 10 PM | 9 AM to 10 PM | Not yet restored |
In the 28 days since the simultaneous shortening of hours on April 17, Shin-Koenji Store is the first of the three to return to 24-hour operation. Kanda Ogawamachi Store and Shinjuku 1-chome Store remain on shortened hours of 9 AM to 10 PM.
Trends in 24-Hour Operation Changes Since April
Since April, Matsuya has seen a series of stores both ending and reinstating 24-hour operation.
| Date | Change | Stores Affected |
|---|---|---|
| April 17, 2026 | 24-hour operation ended | Kanda Ogawamachi, Shin-Koenji, Shinjuku 1-chome (3 stores) |
| April 20, 2026 | 24-hour operation restored | Kitami, Takatsu, Yako (3 stores) / Kashimada Store also extended its hours |
| May 1, 2026 | 24-hour operation ended | 6 stores in Tokyo (concentrated in 3 stores in Setagaya Ward) |
| May 7, 2026 | Simultaneous business hours change | 3 stores |
| May 11, 2026 | Fully switched to 24-hour operation | Matsuya Ningyocho Store (eliminated its early-Monday closure) |
| May 15, 2026 (this change) | 24-hour operation restored | Matsuya Shin-Koenji Store |
Stores ending and restoring 24-hour operation have been occurring in parallel from April into May, reflecting a series of fine-grained adjustments to business hours based on each store’s actual usage and demand. Shin-Koenji Store’s return this time marks the first case of restoration among the three stores that shortened their hours together on April 17, coming 28 days after that change.
Matsuya Near Shin-Koenji Station
Shin-Koenji Store is a station-front location on the first floor of a building in front of Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line’s Shin-Koenji Station. With today’s return to 24-hour operation, the store resumes serving late-night demand near the station.
Editor's Note
Of the three stores that shortened their hours on April 17, only Shin-Koenji Store has returned to 24-hour operation after about 28 days — it looks like Matsuya is still trial-and-erroring its way through gauging demand.
