Matsuya Minowacho Store to Expand Reopening Hours to 21-Hour Daily Operation

Store data on Matsuya’s official website confirms that as of 2:39 PM on May 19, 2026, the listed operating hours for Matsuya Minowacho Store (1838, 947-1 Mikkamachi, Minowa, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture) — currently undergoing renovation to add a co-located Matsunoya — have been changed to “5:00 AM to 2:00 AM the next day, last order 15 minutes before close.” The store temporarily closed at 3:00 PM on May 11 and is scheduled to reopen at 10:00 AM on May 22; this marks an advance update of the operating hours information ahead of that reopening.

Item	Before	After (this update)
Operating hours	Weekdays: 6:00-24:00, Weekends & holidays: 8:00-24:00, last order 15 minutes before close	5:00 AM to 2:00 AM the next day, last order 15 minutes before close

Key Points of the Hours Change

Comparing the hours before and after by day type shows that operating hours are being expanded on both weekdays and weekends/holidays. The difference in opening times by day of the week has been eliminated, and hours are now unified to be the same every day.

Day Type	Hours Before	Hours After	Earlier Opening	Later Closing
Weekdays	6:00-24:00 (18 hours)	5:00-2:00 the next day (21 hours)	1 hour earlier	2 hours later
Weekends & holidays	8:00-24:00 (16 hours)	5:00-2:00 the next day (21 hours)	3 hours earlier	2 hours later

Daily operating hours will increase from 18 to 21 hours on weekdays and from 16 to 21 hours on weekends and holidays — a 5-hour expansion for weekends and holidays. With the day-specific opening times now unified to “5:00 AM every day,” customers will be able to visit in the early morning without needing to check the day of the week.

Among the 4 Stores That Closed on May 11, Minowacho Is the First to Expand Hours

Minowacho Store is one of four stores (Asaka Hizaori, Aoto, Nangodori, and Minowacho) that temporarily closed together on May 11. The reopening dates and the timing of operating hours updates for each store are as follows.

Store	Temporary Closure	Reopening	Hours Update
Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store (1811)	May 11, 15:00	May 26, 10:00	Not yet updated as of today
Matsuya Aoto Store (0575)	May 11, 15:00	May 28, 10:00	Not yet updated as of today
Matsuya Nangodori Store (0748)	May 11, 15:00	June 3, 9:00 (after postponement)	Not yet updated as of today
Matsuya Minowacho Store (1838, this case)	May 11, 15:00	May 22, 10:00	Hours expanded today, May 19, 14:39

Among the four stores that closed on May 11, Minowacho — which has the earliest reopening date (May 22) — had its operating hours updated three days ahead of reopening. The other three stores (Asaka Hizaori, Aoto, and Nangodori) have later reopening dates, and their operating hours settings have not yet been updated as of today.

A Separate Development from the May 18 Simultaneous Expansion at 7 Stores

On the morning of May 18, seven stores — including Musashimurayama, Kanda Ogawamachi, Oyamadai, Ichigaya, and Nakameguro Aobadai 2-chome — had their operating hours expanded simultaneously. The hours expansion at Minowacho Store this time is a separate development: an advance settings update for a store reopening after renovation.

Date	Development	Stores
May 18, 2026, 9:26	Simultaneous operating hours expansion	Musashimurayama, Kanda Ogawamachi, Oyamadai, Numazu, Ichigaya, Miyakojima Kema, Nakameguro Aobadai 2-chome (7 stores)
May 19, 2026, 14:39 (this case)	Post-reopening operating hours setting	Matsuya Minowacho Store

The May 18 simultaneous expansion was an immediate change to the listed hours of currently operating stores, while this update for Minowacho Store is an advance confirmation of the post-reopening hours for a store currently under renovation. Although both moves point in the same direction of “expanded operating hours,” the operational scenarios behind them differ.

Matsuya in Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture

Minowacho Store is located in Minowa, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture, and is currently the only Matsuya in Kamiina District. After reopening, it will operate as a store co-located with Matsunoya, running on a 21-hour schedule from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM in the local area. Its renovation period (approximately 11 days) is the shortest among the four stores that closed on May 11, reflecting an aim for a speedy reopening with a new lineup.
