Nishi Ward, Osaka City, is an area along the subway Yotsubashi and Chuo Lines where office districts and residential areas intermingle. This new store marks the fourth Matsuya location in the ward, following the existing Yotsubashi Store (0308, Kitahorie), Higobashi Store (0957, Edobori), and Kujo Store (2261, Kujo). Utsubohonmachi Store sits roughly midway between Awaza Station and Hommachi Station, in a location covering the dense office and residential area around Utsubo Park.
Okayama Tokaichi Store and Suzenji Store Also Announce Renovation-Related Temporary Closures in the Same Update
At the same update timing as the addition of Utsubohonmachi Store, two existing stores in Okayama and Fukuoka also had renovation-related temporary closure schedules newly recorded.
| Store | Address | Temporary Closure Period | Duration | Co-located Brand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Okayama Tokaichi Store (0747) | 5-28 Tokaichi Nishimachi, Kita Ward, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture | 3:00 PM, Monday, June 15 – 10:00 AM, Tuesday, June 30 | Approx. 15 days | None (no co-location change announced) |
| Suzenji Store (1347) | 3-11-10 Suzenji, Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture | 3:00 PM, Monday, June 22 – 3:00 PM, Wednesday, July 1 | Approx. 9 days | Already co-located with Matsunoya |
For Okayama Tokaichi Store, a note reading “*Temporarily closed from 3:00 PM on June 15, reopening at 10:00 AM on June 30” was added to the end of the store name listing; the current update does not include any announcement of a co-located brand change or name change. Suzenji Store already operates as a store co-located with Matsunoya, and a note reading “*Temporarily closed from 3:00 PM on June 22, reopening at 3:00 PM on July 1” was added to the end of its store name.
This follows the pattern that has become standard over the past two months of renovations beginning at 3:00 PM on weekdays (Tatsuno Store on May 14; two stores on May 18; Senbayashi Omiya Store on May 25; Suwa Store on May 28; Shinozaki Store and Oguchi Store on June 3; Higashi-Omiya Ekimae Store and Hakusan Store on June 4), with both stores’ renovation timing listed within the same framework.
Positioning of the Three Same-Day Updates
| Store | Type | Period/Schedule |

| Utsubohonmachi Store (2285, Nishi Ward, Osaka City) | New Store Opening Announcement | Opening at 10:00 AM, Saturday, June 27 |

Heading into the latter half of June, one new store opening and two renovation-related temporary closures were recorded in the store data as part of the same update. The new Utsubohonmachi Store shares the same June 27, 10:00 AM opening schedule as “Oshu Mizusawa Store” (Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture; scheduled to open at 10:00 AM on June 27), announced on June 3, running in parallel — making the final weekend of June a moment when new store openings occur simultaneously in the east and west.
Editor's Note
Oshu Mizusawa in the east, Utsubohonmachi in the west. A weekend when two new stores open simultaneously at 10:00 AM on June 27, one in the east and one in the west.
