By Far the Shortest Among All 12 Stores Temporarily Closing in May
Among the 12 stores temporarily closing in May, Nakano Ekimae Store’s closure period is now, following this revision, far shorter than any other store.
| Store | Prefecture | Temporary Closure | Renewal Opening | Closure Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matsuya Nakano Ekimae Store | Tokyo | 3:00 PM, Monday, May 11 | 11:00 AM, Friday, May 15 | Approx. 4 days |

The gap between Nakano Ekimae Store (approx. 4 days) and the next shortest, Gokasho Store (approx. 9 days), is about 5 days — a wide margin over the rest of the 12 stores closing in May. While the three other stores that also closed on May 11 — Aoto, Asaka Hizaori, and Nangodori — are taking long renovation periods of roughly 15 to 23 days, Nakano Ekimae Store alone is returning after an exceptionally short period.
A Last-Minute Revision Made About Three Hours Before Closing
This latest revision was made today, May 11, at 12:15 PM — an update coming with roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes left before the 3:00 PM temporary closure time. Revising the opening date three days earlier just three hours before closing is an unusual move even by the standards of Matsuya’s past temporary closure schedules.
| Key Last-Minute Development | Details |
|---|---|
| 12:15 PM, May 11 | Renewal opening revised from May 18 to May 15 |
| 3:00 PM, May 11 | Temporary closure (scheduled) |
| 11:00 AM, May 15 | Renewal opening (scheduled) |
A closure period of roughly 4 days suggests a scale of work consistent with short-term tasks completed within just a few days.
Editor's Note
The opening date was moved up three days, from 5/18 to 5/15, just three hours before closing. The closure period was shortened again — from roughly 7 days to roughly 4 days — making it, among the 12 stores temporarily closed in May, by far the shortest.
