Matsuya Komazawa Store Restores 24-Hour Operation After Just 6 Days

At 2:14 PM on May 7, store data on Matsuya’s official website confirmed a change to the operating hours of Matsuya Komazawa Store (1-5-15 Komazawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo), showing that 24-hour operation had resumed. The store had only just ended 24-hour operation around 3:00 PM on May 1 and switched to a 13-hour schedule of ‘9:00 AM to 10:00 PM,’ reverting to its original 24-hour operation just 6 days later. This is an unusual shift for such a short timeframe.

Change Details

Item	Before (After May 1 Change)	After (Today)
Operating Hours	9:00 AM to 10:00 PM	24-hour operation
Hours of Operation	13 hours	24 hours

Timeline: Ended May 1 → Restored May 7

Over the past week, the operating hours data for Komazawa Store has changed as follows.

Date	Operating Hours	Event
Before May 1	24-hour operation	Operating as 24-hour
May 1, around 3:00 PM	9:00 AM to 10:00 PM	Ended 24-hour operation
May 7, 2:14 PM (this update)	24-hour operation	Restored 24-hour operation

On May 1, a large-scale change took place in which 3 stores in Setagaya Ward (Komazawa, Shimotakaido, Oyamadai) and 3 more in neighboring areas — 6 stores in total — simultaneously ended 24-hour operation. Today’s restoration at Komazawa Store marks a policy reversal just 6 days after that change.

Status of the Other 5 Stores That Ended 24-Hour Operation Together on May 1

Of the 6 stores that ended 24-hour operation together with Komazawa Store on May 1, only Komazawa Store has returned to 24-hour operation today. As of 2:14 PM on May 7, the remaining 5 stores continue to maintain either a ‘9:00 AM–10:00 PM’ or ‘8:00 AM–10:00 PM’ schedule.

Among the 3 stores in Setagaya Ward, Komazawa Store alone has moved first to return to 24-hour operation. The trends at Shimotakaido Store and Oyamadai Store also warrant continued attention.

The Pattern of 24-Hour Operation Reversals Since April

Since April, endings and restorations of 24-hour operation at Matsuya have been occurring in parallel. There have been prior cases of reversals within a short timeframe.

Date	Change	Stores Involved
April 17	4 stores ended 24-hour operation (Shibuya, Ichigaya, Yotsuya, Kanda)	4 stores
April 19	Kanda Minamiguchi Store restored 24-hour operation; Kanda Nishiguchi Store ended it	Restored 1 / Ended 1
April 20	3 stores (Kitami, Takatsu, Yako) restored 24-hour operation	Restored 3
May 1	6 stores in Tokyo (Musashimurayama, Komazawa, Shimotakaido, Oyamadai, Kokuryo, Nakameguro Aobadai 2-chome) ended 24-hour operation	Ended 6
May 7 (this update)	Komazawa Store restored 24-hour operation	Restored 1

The case of Kanda Minamiguchi Store on April 19 involved an ending and a restoration happening at nearly the same time, but this time Komazawa Store’s “ended May 1 → restored May 7” shift fits neatly within the Golden Week period. It appears the store scaled back late-night operation only for the duration of the holiday, then returned to 24-hour operation once it ended.
