Once Again, Only the Latitude Shifts About 11cm South

This time, only the latitude changed — the address, 24-hour operation, and Matsunoya co-location remain unaltered. A decrease in latitude indicates a southward shift, meaning only the map coordinates have edged slightly further south once again.

The 5th Southward Shift, Cumulative Total of About 67cm South

Since the store first appeared in the data on June 8, its latitude has been shifting south in stages. Following the 3rd southward shift on June 23 (a cumulative total of about 44cm), it shifted south by about 11cm again on both June 26 and July 1. This brings the total number of southward shifts since first appearance to 5, with a cumulative total of about 67cm south. All 5 shifts have consistently been southward, and the longitude has never moved.

Date Latitude Cumulative Since First Appearance
June 8 (First Appearance) 35.6049225 0cm
June 18 35.6049215 ~11cm South
June 19 35.6049205 ~22cm South
June 23 35.6049185 ~44cm South
June 26 35.6049175 ~56cm South
July 1 35.6049165 ~67cm South

The southward shift on June 26 coincided with the store’s opening day period, but the trend of the longitude never moving while only the latitude keeps pointing south continues unabated. Though the difference is less than a meter, the Shin-Yurigaoka store keeps gradually creeping south on the map with each occurrence.

Editor's Note

Even after opening, Shin-Yurigaoka keeps drifting south at its own pace. With a cumulative 67cm so far, how much further south will it go?
