The store photo has also been updated as of today, suggesting a possible change to the exterior. No information about an added brand, such as a co-located Matsunoya, has been confirmed, and the store appears to have reopened as a standalone Matsuya location.
Shinjuku Ward Is Matsuya’s Most Densely Packed Area
With the return of Shinjuku Minamiguchi Store, all 24 Matsuya locations in Shinjuku Ward are now open. Around Shinjuku Station alone, numerous locations are clustered within walking distance, including the Minamiguchi, Nishiguchi, Okado, Yasukuni-dori, and 3-chome stores, making it one of Tokyo’s most densely packed areas.
Editor's Note
Shinjuku Minamiguchi Store is back after 36 days. Even during the renovation, having multiple Matsuya locations within a 5-minute walk shows just how strong Shinjuku's density is.
