Matsuya Fuchinobe Kitaguchi Store Shortens Operating Hours From 18 to 16 Hours; Fujiyoshida Store Revealed to Gain Matsunoya Co-location During Renovation

Operating hours at “Matsuya Fuchinobe Kitaguchi Store” (3-19-9 Fuchinobe) in Chuo Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, were changed on April 16 from the previous “4:00–2:00 the next day” (22-hour operation) to “8:00–24:00” (16-hour operation).

Item	Before	After
Opening time	4:00	8:00 (4 hours later)
Closing time	2:00 the next day	24:00 (2 hours earlier)
Daily operating hours	22 hours	16 hours (6-hour reduction)

Operating hours during the early-morning and late-night periods were significantly cut back, reducing the daily total by a full 6 hours. Although the location is close to a university campus, the change appears to reflect declining late-night demand.

Matsuya Fujiyoshida Store Confirmed to Gain Matsunoya Co-location During Renovation

At “Matsuya Fujiyoshida Store” (Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture), which has been temporarily closed since April 16, the notation “(Matsunoya co-located)” was newly added to the store name.

Item	Before	After
Store name	Matsuya Fujiyoshida Store	Matsuya Fujiyoshida Store (Matsunoya co-located)
Temporary closure	April 16, 15:00	April 16, 15:00
Reopening	April 28, 10:00	April 28, 10:00

At the time the renovation was announced, no information about co-location had been confirmed; the post-renewal layout only became clear after the store closed. With the renewal opening on April 28, it is now confirmed that Fujiyoshida Store will shift from a standalone Matsuya store to one co-located with Matsunoya.

There are 7 Matsuya stores in total across Yamanashi Prefecture, 3 of which are co-located with Matsunoya. With Fujiyoshida Store’s addition, that number will rise to 4.
