Matsuya Chiba Store Reopens at 3 PM on November 2, 2026, Right on Schedule After Temporary Closure

Matsuya Chiba Store (0139) reopened at 3 PM on November 2, 2026. This ends the temporary closure that had continued since 3 PM on October 26, 2026, with the reopening date and time matching the prior announcement. On Matsuya’s official website, the store information page no longer carries the closure notice that had been appended to the store name, and the listing has returned to its normal state with no closing-date or reopening-date notation. The store is located in Fujimi, Chuo Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, and operates 24 hours a day; business hours remain unchanged after reopening.

Seven-Day Closure Ends Exactly as Announced on October 13, 2026

The temporary closure of Chiba Store had been announced in advance on October 13, 2026, when the official website’s store information page posted: “Temporarily closed from 3 PM on October 26, reopening at 3 PM on November 2.” The actual closure matched this notice exactly, running seven days from 3 PM on October 26, 2026 to 3 PM on November 2, 2026. No deviation in date or time occurred between the announcement and the reopening.

Around the same time, Matsuya locations elsewhere have also been posting a string of notices for temporary closures tied to renovations and the like, followed by reopenings once the stated period ends. Closure periods vary by store, ranging from a few days to about three weeks, making Chiba Store’s seven days relatively short. The Chiba Store reopening is one such case: Kamisu Store and others reopened on October 22, 2026, and Omiya Higashiguchi Store and others reopened on October 23, 2026, each exactly on the date and time announced.

One of Six Stores Clustered in Chuo Ward, Among 14 in Chiba City

Matsuya operates 14 stores within Chiba City, where Chiba Store is located. Of these, six are clustered in Chuo Ward: Chiba Store itself, along with Chiba Nitona Store, Higashi-Chiba Store, Suehiro Kaido Store, Soga Store, and Nishi-Chiba Store, making it one of the most store-dense areas in the city. Matsuya has 78 stores across Chiba Prefecture as a whole, a fraction of its 1,227 stores nationwide.

Looking at the 14 Chiba City stores by format, they split almost evenly: seven are co-located with the tonkatsu chain Matsunoya (Chiba Nitona Store, Chiba Koichiba Store, Shin-Kemigawa Store, Suehiro Kaido Store, Takeishi Store, Inage Kaigan Store, and Anagawa O2 Park Store), and seven are Matsuya-only stores. Chiba Store is a standalone format without a co-located Matsunoya, placing it in the latter group.

Chiba Nitona Store, also within Chiba City, only just opened on October 20, 2026, and the area’s store network continues to see activity. With Chiba Store’s reopening, all six stores in Chuo Ward have now returned to normal operation.
