Matsuya Asahikawa Omachi Store Ends 24-Hour Operation, Shortens Hours to '5:00 AM–2:00 AM'

On the Same Day, Shin-Koenji Store Returns to 24-Hour Operation in the Opposite Direction

As of 10:01 AM today, May 15, the business hours of Matsuya Shin-Koenji Store (0273) had already changed from “8:00 AM to 10:00 PM” to “24-hour operation,” marking a return from shortened hours to round-the-clock operation. This means that today saw both a shift toward shortened hours and a return to 24-hour operation occur at separate stores.

Matsuya Shin-Koenji Store (0273)	May 15, 10:01 AM	8:00 AM to 10:00 PM	24-hour operation	Returned to 24-hour operation

Since April, multiple Matsuya locations have seen a series of both endings and reinstatements of 24-hour operation, and today’s two cases mark an instance where adjustments in opposite directions occurred at separate stores on the same day.

Matsuya Business Hours Structure in Hokkaido

As of today, 24 Matsuya locations are operating in Hokkaido. With this shortening of hours at Asahikawa Omachi Store, the number of stores with business hours listings other than 24-hour operation (including shortened hours at either the Matsuya store itself or a co-located Matsunoya) stands at 4.

Store	Business Hours
Matsuya Asahikawa Omachi Store (2083, this change)	5:00 AM to 2:00 AM the following day
Matsuya Asahikawa Yojo Store (2106)	24-hour operation (Matsunoya: 3:00 AM to 1:00 AM the following day)
Matsuya Kaimono Koen-dori Store (1707)	8:00 AM to 11:30 PM
Matsuya Satozuka Store (0986)	5:00 AM to 2:00 AM the following day

With this shortening of hours at Asahikawa Omachi Store, the number of Matsuya locations in Hokkaido operating on a “5:00 AM to 2:00 AM the following day” schedule now stands at two, together with Satozuka Store (0986). Narrowing the view to Asahikawa City alone, Asahikawa Omachi Store has shortened its hours while Asahikawa Yojo Store’s Matsuya operation maintains 24-hour service, resulting in a split business hours structure even within the same city.

24-Hour Operation Changes Since April

Since April, Matsuya has seen a series of both endings and reinstatements of 24-hour operation running in parallel across multiple stores.

Date	Change	Stores Affected
April 17, 2026	24-hour operation ended	Kanda Ogawamachi, Shin-Koenji, Shinjuku 1-chome (3 stores)
April 20, 2026	24-hour operation reinstated	Kitami, Takatsu, Yako (3 stores); Kashimada Store also extended its hours
May 1, 2026	24-hour operation ended	6 stores in Tokyo (concentrated in 3 stores in Setagaya Ward)

May 15, 2026 (morning)	24-hour operation reinstated	Matsuya Shin-Koenji Store
May 15, 2026 (afternoon, this change)	24-hour operation ended	Matsuya Asahikawa Omachi Store

The 24-hour operation changes since April had been centered on the greater Tokyo area, but this change at Asahikawa Omachi Store marks the shift spreading to Hokkaido. The picture is one of ongoing adjustment of business hours structures at individual stores in response to actual operating conditions and late-night demand.
