Matsuya: Toshimaen Store and Two Other Locations to Temporarily Close in Succession in September 2026
Three Matsuya locations will temporarily close one after another in September 2026. The stores affected are Matsuya Machida Store (0107) in Machida City, Tokyo; Matsuya Kawasaki Ginzagai Store (0154) in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; and Matsuya Toshimaen Store (0909) in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. The closure schedules were announced simultaneously, spanning both Tokyo and Kanagawa. In each case, the store itself is temporarily closing for renovation or similar work, and a reopening date has been announced alongside the closure for every location.
Closure Schedule for the Three Stores
The announced temporary closure periods for each store are as follows. Both the closing and reopening are specified down to the exact date and time.
| Store | Location | Temporary Closure | Scheduled Reopening | Closure Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuya Machida Store | Haramachida, Machida City, Tokyo | 15:00, September 2 (Wed) | 15:00, September 15 (Tue) | About 13 days |
| Matsuya Kawasaki Ginzagai Store | Sunako, Kawasaki Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture | 15:00, September 4 (Fri) | 15:00, September 14 (Mon) | About 10 days |
| Matsuya Toshimaen Store (co-located with Matsunoya) | Nerima, Nerima Ward, Tokyo | 8:00, September 1 (Tue) | 10:00, September 3 (Thu) | About 2 days |
Of the three stores, Matsuya Toshimaen Store is explicitly labeled as co-located with Matsunoya in its own store name, making it the only co-located store among the three this time. Neither Machida Store nor Kawasaki Ginzagai Store has a co-located brand. The closure periods vary by store even though the announcements came at the same time: Machida Store has the longest at about 13 days, while Toshimaen Store has the shortest at about 2 days.
Toshimaen Store’s Second Temporary Closure This Year, Sharply Shorter Than the Previous 17 Days
Matsuya Toshimaen Store also underwent a temporary closure this past March. It closed at 15:00 on March 23, 2026, and reopened on April 9 at 10:00 after about 17 days of renovation. This makes it the store’s second temporary closure within about half a year.
Whereas the previous closure lasted about 17 days, this time the closure runs only from 8:00 on September 1 to 10:00 on September 3 — about 2 days in total, roughly one-eighth the length of the previous closure.
Nearby Matsuya Alternatives During the Closures
Here are the nearest Matsuya locations of the same brand that customers can use while each store is closed. All distances are straight-line distances calculated from latitude and longitude, and differ from actual walking distances.
- Matsuya Machida Store (Haramachida, Machida City, Tokyo) → Matsuya Kamitsuruma Store (0406), about 508m away in a straight line
- Matsuya Kawasaki Ginzagai Store (Sunako, Kawasaki Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) → Matsuya Kawasaki Sunako Store (1967), about 334m away
- Matsuya Toshimaen Store (Nerima, Nerima Ward, Tokyo) → Matsuya Nerima Store (0137), about 745m away
In every case, an alternative store lies within a few hundred meters, and in the case of Kawasaki Ginzagai Store, Kawasaki Sunako Store is located in the very same Sunako neighborhood. Customers can reach a nearby Matsuya even while these locations are closed. None of the three affected stores are registered as stores handling store-limited menu items, so this round of closures has no impact on the supply of store-limited menu items.
Simultaneous Announcement in Tokyo and Kanagawa, the Two Prefectures with the Most Stores
Looking at Matsuya’s regularly operating stores nationwide by prefecture, Tokyo has 338 stores and Kanagawa Prefecture has 112, making them the top two prefectures. The three stores whose temporary closures were announced this time all belong to these two prefectures.
Matsuya has seen this kind of move before, where temporary closure plans are added to multiple stores at once. In May 2026, temporary closure plans dated the same 15:00 on May 18 were added all at once to three stores: Ueno Store, Fuji Round One Store, and Gaikan Yao Store. This time’s three stores — Machida, Kawasaki Ginzagai, and Toshimaen — are different from those back then, but the pattern of announcing multiple stores’ closure plans together is the same.
Editor's Note
This is Toshimaen Store's second closure in under half a year. Down from about 17 days last time to about 2 days this time — quite the quick turnaround.
