Matsuya Kamishakujii Store to Temporarily Close for About 45 Days, from 3 PM on August 4 to September 18
It has come to light that Matsuya Kamishakujii Store (0338), part of the Beef Bowl chain Matsuya, will temporarily close at 3 PM on August 4, 2026. According to store information on Matsuya’s official website, the store will reopen at 10 AM on September 18, putting the closure at roughly 45 days. The store, a 24-hour operation located at Sakae Building 1F, 2-25-5 Kamishakujii, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, has a note added to its name reading “*Temporarily closed from 3 PM on August 4, reopening at 10 AM on September 18,” explicitly stating both the closing and reopening dates and times.
The reason for the temporary closure is not stated in the store information. Given the roughly 45-day length of the closure, it appears to be an extended closure related to major renovations or equipment upgrades, though this cannot be confirmed.
The Roughly 45-Day Closure Is the Longest Among Temporary Closures with Confirmed Dates
Kamishakujii Store’s closure runs from 3 PM on August 4 to 10 AM on September 18, spanning 44 days and 19 hours. Compared side by side with other temporarily closed Matsuya stores whose closing and reopening dates are both stated in the official website’s store information, this length stands out. The next-longest closures, at Matsuya Asakusabashi Minami Store and Matsuya Futamatase Store, each run 14 days and 19 hours — meaning Kamishakujii Store’s closure is more than three times as long.
| Store | Closure Period |
|---|---|
| Matsuya Kamishakujii Store | About 45 days (44 days, 19 hours) |
| Matsuya Asakusabashi Minami Store | 14 days, 19 hours |
| Matsuya Futamatase Store | 14 days, 19 hours |
| Matsuya Marugame Isuhara Store | 14 days |
| Matsuya Soka Higashiguchi Store | 7 days |
| Matsuya Komaki Store | 7 days |
| Matsuya Okayama Omotecho Store | 18 hours |
Temporary closures for renovation typically reopen within about one to two weeks, and the roughly 45-day closure here far exceeds that range.
Musashiseki Store Is the Nearest During the Closure — 16 Matsuya Locations Remain in Nerima Ward
During Kamishakujii Store’s roughly 45-day closure, the nearest Matsuya location by straight-line distance is Musashiseki Store, also in Nerima Ward, at about 1.32 km away. It’s followed by Shakujiidai Store (about 1.40 km), Shimoshakujii Store (about 1.44 km), Shakujii Koen Store (about 2.30 km), and Higashifushimi Store in Nishitokyo City (about 2.50 km) — all within walking distance.
Nerima Ward has 17 Matsuya locations including Kamishakujii Store, and the remaining 16 will continue operating during the closure. Across Tokyo as a whole, 336 stores are in operation, and 1,207 nationwide — making Nerima Ward and Tokyo among the areas with the highest density of Matsuya stores in the country.
Nerima Ward has recently seen a string of temporary closures. Nakamurabashi Store underwent a 7-day temporary closure from 3 PM on July 17 to 3 PM on July 24, and Sakuradai Store temporarily closed for renovation starting April 17. Even compared with these recent cases within the ward, this roughly 45-day closure is significantly longer.
Editor's Note
A roughly 45-day break is quite the stretch. We can't wait to see how it looks when it reopens on September 18.
