2nd Location Within Saitama City’s Sakura Ward

Until now, the only Matsuya location in Saitama City’s Sakura Ward was ‘Matsuya Urawa Machiya Store’ (store code 0608, 2-1-1 Machiya, Sakura Ward). Today’s announcement of the Nishi-Urawa Station Store brings the ward’s total to 2 locations. Sakura Ward is structured with the JR Musashino Line running east to west through it, and the two stores end up covering different districts: the Nishi-Urawa Station Store sits in the Tajima district along the Musashino Line, while the Urawa Machiya Store is in the Machiya district.

Store Distribution Across Saitama City’s 10 Wards

Including the Nishi-Urawa Station Store, Matsuya now has 20 locations in Saitama City. Broken down by ward, they are distributed across 7 wards: Minuma Ward (5), Minami Ward (4), Omiya Ward (3), Urawa Ward (3), Sakura Ward (2, including the Nishi-Urawa Station Store), Kita Ward (2), and Chuo Ward (1). Three wards — Midori Ward, Nishi Ward, and Iwatsuki Ward — remain without a Matsuya. With this opening, Sakura Ward rises to 2 locations, tying Kita Ward and moving ahead of Chuo Ward.

101st Location in Saitama Prefecture

Including the Nishi-Urawa Station Store, Matsuya now has 101 locations in Saitama Prefecture. Within the prefecture, the chain continues to maintain a high-density presence centered on urban areas such as Saitama City, Kawaguchi City, and Kawagoe City. This addition of a 2nd Sakura Ward location also thickens Matsuya’s share within Saitama City.

One of a Rush of New Openings from Late June Through Early July

From late June through early July, alongside today’s announced Nishi-Urawa Station Store (opening 7/4), a dense rush of openings continues: Shin-Yurigaoka Store (opened 6/26), Oshu-Mizusawa Store (opened 6/27), Utsubo-Honmachi Store (opened 6/27), Mibu Store (opened 6/30), Toyokawa-Hachiman Store (opened 7/1), and Gamo-Yonchome Store (opened 7/2) — 7 new stores opening in roughly 9 days from 6/26 to 7/4. The Nishi-Urawa Station Store is the only Saitama Prefecture opening in that stretch, positioning it as the first new Kanto-area store of July.
