Three Matsuya Stores Add Temporary Closure Schedule Starting May 18
At 11:25 AM on May 8, Matsuya’s official website store data newly added temporary closure plans for three stores: the Ueno Store in Tokyo, the Fuji Round One Store in Shizuoka Prefecture, and the Gaikan Yao Store in Osaka Prefecture. All three share the same temporary closure date and time: 3:00 PM on Monday, May 18.
Temporary Closure Schedule
| Store | Location | Temporarily Closed | Renewal Opening | Closure Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuya Ueno Store | 4-9-5 Ueno, Taito Ward, Tokyo, Ishii Building 1F/2F | Monday, May 18, 2026, 3:00 PM | Friday, May 29, 2026, 3:00 PM | Approx. 11 days |
| Matsuya Fuji Round One Store | 4-23 Yashiro-cho, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture | Monday, May 18, 2026, 3:00 PM | Friday, May 29, 2026, 10:00 AM | Approx. 11 days |
| Matsuya Gaikan Yao Store (co-located with My Curry Shokudo) | 3-190-1 Shikicho-Minami, Yao City, Osaka Prefecture | Monday, May 18, 2026, 3:00 PM | Wednesday, June 3, 2026, 6:00 PM | Approx. 16 days |
The Ueno Store and Fuji Round One Store will undergo roughly 11 days of renovation, while Gaikan Yao Store runs somewhat longer at roughly 16 days. Gaikan Yao Store carries the “co-located with My Curry Shokudo” designation, but whether the longer renovation period is related to its co-located format cannot be determined from the store data.
Overall May Temporary Closure Schedule Now Expands to 11 Stores
With this addition of three stores, the number of Matsuya locations nationwide scheduled for temporary closure in May has grown to 11. This forms a two-wave structure: 8 stores (the first wave) starting the week of May 11, and 3 stores (this addition) starting the week of May 18.
| Store | Prefecture | Temporarily Closed | Renewal Opening |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuya Aoto Store | Tokyo | May 11, 3:00 PM | May 28, 10:00 AM |

| Matsuya Gaikan Yao Store | Osaka Prefecture | May 18, 3:00 PM | June 3, 6:00 PM |
The second wave starting May 18 is geographically spread across Tokyo, Shizuoka, and Osaka, and combined with the first wave (distributed broadly from Hokkaido to Hyogo), May’s renovations form a nationwide, concurrent pattern.
Store Profiles
Matsuya Ueno Store (Tokyo)
Located in the city center near Ueno Station. The building is the two-floor “Ishii Building 1F/2F,” a multi-floor layout that is relatively unusual for Matsuya. The store is scheduled to reopen after roughly 11 days of renovation.
Matsuya Fuji Round One Store (Shizuoka Prefecture)
Based on the store name, this location appears to be co-located with or near a Round One Fuji outlet. It is scheduled to reopen after roughly 11 days of renovation.
Matsuya Gaikan Yao Store (Osaka Prefecture)
A suburban store along the Gaikan Loop Line (National Route 170), co-located with My Curry Shokudo. Its roughly 16-day renovation period is the longest of the three stores added this time.
Renovation Details Cannot Be Determined from Store Data
For all three stores, the store data changes are limited to three items: store name (addition of the temporary closure note), temporary closure date/time, and renewal opening date/time. What can’t be read from the store data is the substance of the renovation — whether the co-located brand will change after reopening (such as adding a Matsunoya co-location, or continuing the My Curry Shokudo co-location) or what equipment updates are planned. Watching for any change in store name notation after the renewal will be a clue to confirming what the renovation actually involved.
Editor's Note
The week of May 18 lines up three stores: Ueno, Fuji, and Gaikan Yao. Only Gaikan Yao Store's closure runs a longer roughly 16 days, hinting at more extensive renovation work tied to its co-located format.
