Matsuya Toshimaen Store Resumes Operations After About Two-Day Temporary Closure

Matsuya Toshimaen Store (0909) in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, ended its temporary closure as scheduled and resumed operations at 10:00 on September 3, after being closed since 8:00 on September 1. The store information page on the official website no longer shows the closure notice that had read “Temporarily closed from 8:00 on September 1, reopening at 10:00 on September 3,” and the listed closure start date and planned reopening date have also been removed. The store, which has a co-located Matsunoya, reopened exactly on the schedule that had been announced on August 21.

About 17 Days in March, About 2 Days This Time

Toshimaen Store was closed for about 17 days this year, from 15:00 on March 23 to 10:00 on April 9, and that reopening was reported as a renewal opening. This latest closure ran from 8:00 on September 1 to 10:00 on September 3, about two days—roughly an eighth the length of the March closure. The store information page on the official website does not state the reason for the closure.
