The registered coordinates for the Matsuya Miyakojima Tomobuchicho location (store #2214) in Osaka shifted slightly south again on July 17. The latitude dropped by 0.000001 degrees, from 34.7123855 to 34.7123845, a southward shift of roughly 11 centimeters. The longitude has never changed — only the north-south latitude is moving. The address, store name, and the lineup of co-located brands remain unchanged.

Exactly 0.000001 Degrees Every Time, Moving South Without Exception

This store’s latitude has behaved the same way ever since April 25, 2026. Each change is exactly 0.000001 degrees (about 11 centimeters), and the shift has moved only southward, never once reversing north. With this latest update, the count of these uniform southward shifts reaches 13. Over that span the latitude has stepped down from 34.7123975 to 34.7123845 degrees, a cumulative change of 0.0000130 degrees — working out to roughly 1.4 meters south in total.

The Same Pattern Appears at 10 Locations Nationwide

This mechanical regularity — shifting exactly 0.000001 degrees south every single time — isn’t unique to the Miyakojima Tomobuchicho location. Store data on Matsuya’s official site shows the same pattern at 10 locations nationwide. Besides Miyakojima Tomobuchicho in Osaka, the list includes Matsuya No. 8 Nagahama in Shiga Prefecture, Sendai Ichibancho in Miyagi Prefecture, Iwamotocho in Tokyo, Shin-Yurigaoka in Kanagawa Prefecture, Ishioka in Ibaraki Prefecture, Tomisato Interchange and Shin-Matsudo in Chiba Prefecture, Oyama Kizawa in Tochigi Prefecture, and Kumagaya Ishihara in Saitama Prefecture — scattered with no regional concentration.

Among them, Matsuya No. 8 Nagahama in Shiga Prefecture matches Miyakojima Tomobuchicho at 13 latitude shifts, and most of the dates on which the changes occurred coincide between the two stores. Osaka and Shiga — two locations far apart in a straight line — have latitudes shifting south by the same amount on the same days. It’s a difference far too small to notice on a map, yet the two stores’ latitudes are drifting south in lockstep.

The Only Location in Miyakojima Ward with a Co-Located Matsunoya

The Miyakojima Tomobuchicho location is also the only one of the four Matsuya-branded stores in Miyakojima Ward, Osaka, that has a co-located Matsunoya, the tonkatsu chain. While the ward’s Keihan Kyobashi, Kyobashi Katamachi, and Miyakojima Kema locations all operate as Beef Bowl-only stores, this is the sole location carrying both the Beef Bowl and tonkatsu banners.

Matsuya-group locations in Osaka Prefecture, including those with a co-located Matsunoya, number 111 in total, of which 60 are within Osaka City — more than half of the prefecture’s total. In one corner of this fiercely competitive Matsuya market, this single store’s latitude keeps quietly drifting south.
