Matsuya Kita-Akabane Store to Temporarily Close for 13 Days Starting October 23 at 3 PM

Matsuya Kita-Akabane Store (0920) in Kita Ward, Tokyo, will temporarily close starting October 23, 2026 at 3 PM and is scheduled to reopen on November 5 at 3 PM, it has been learned. The closure period runs for approximately 13 days. Matsuya’s official website store information lists the closure and reopening dates and times, but does not state a reason for the closure, such as renovation or construction work. The “Temporarily Closed” designation included in the store’s name refers to a full suspension of the store itself, as distinct from a pause in operating hours during the day.

The Kita-Akabane Store is located at 3-1-38 Ukima, Kita Ward, Tokyo. From the start of the closure on October 23 until the scheduled reopening on November 5, in-store service is expected to be suspended.

Temporary Closures Continuing Nationwide

In early September, the Machida Store in Tokyo began an approximately 13-day closure (from 3 PM on September 2 to 3 PM on September 15), and in October, the Sendagi Store and Takamatsu Hyogomachi Store reopened after completing roughly 10-day closures. The Kawaguchi Ekimae Store in Saitama has also announced an approximately 8-day closure, from 3 PM on October 19 to 3 PM on October 27.

Closure periods tend to range from a few days to around two weeks, though there has also been a long closure of about 45 days at the Kami-Shakujii Store in the past. The Kita-Akabane Store’s 13-day closure falls on the standard-to-slightly-longer end of this range.
