Matsuya Switches Operating Suspension Schedules from April to May at 92 Chubu/Kansai Stores — Minowacho Store's Renovation Closure Cancelled, 3 Stores Move to 24-Hour Operation

Between late night on April 30 and the early hours of May 1, operating-hours-related data for 92 stores mainly in the Chubu and Kansai areas was updated all at once in the store data on the Matsuya official website. The breakdown falls into the following three patterns.

• Switch of operating suspension schedules from April to May (88 stores): The now-elapsed late-April temporary suspension information was removed, and May temporary suspension information was added
• Removal of Minowacho Store’s May 11 renovation temporary closure schedule (1 store): The renovation-related temporary closure of Nagano Prefecture’s Minowacho Store, announced on April 28, was removed from the store data
• Change to the standing operating hours themselves (3 stores): Toyama Prefecture’s Toyama Fuchu Store, and Fukui Prefecture’s Echizen Sempuku Store and Fukui Wakasugi Store, switched to 24-hour operation

Minowacho Store’s Renovation Temporary Closure Schedule Starting May 11 Removed

At Matsuya Minowacho Store in Nagano Prefecture, the notice “*Temporarily closed from 15:00 on May 11, reopening at 10:00 on May 22” that had been added on April 28 was removed from the store name, and the registered closure date/time and reopening date/time values were also removed from the store data.

Item	Before	After
Store Name	Matsuya Minowacho Store *Temporarily closed from 15:00 on May 11, reopening at 10:00 on May 22	Matsuya Minowacho Store
Temporary Closure Date/Time	15:00, May 11, 2026	Removed
Reopening Date/Time	10:00, May 22, 2026	Removed

Of the group of stores closing simultaneously on May 11 (Aoto Store, Nangodori Store, Asaka Hizaori Store, and Minowacho Store) that Gyumesy reported on April 28 in “Matsuya Adds Temporary Closure Schedules for Late April All at Once at 85 Chubu/Kansai Stores,” only Minowacho Store has now dropped out. Whether this reflects a cancelled renovation plan or a pending reschedule cannot be determined from the store data alone.

Three Stores That Switched to 24-Hour Operation

The following three stores had their basic operating hours themselves changed to 24-hour operation.

Store	Prefecture	Before	After
Matsuya Toyama Fuchu Store	Toyama Prefecture	4:00 to 2:00 the next day	24-hour operation
Matsuya Echizen Sempuku Store	Fukui Prefecture	5:00 to 2:00 the next day	24-hour operation
Matsuya Fukui Wakasugi Store	Fukui Prefecture	5:00 to 2:00 the next day, last order 30 minutes before close	24-hour operation

All three had previously closed during the late-night hours (roughly 2:00 to 4:00/5:00). In addition to this change, new temporary operating suspension schedules for May have also been set for them.

Examples of May Temporary Suspension Schedules

The following are examples of major stores that had suspension schedules added. The dates and time slots are concentrated in the late-night or early-morning hours, and are set in fine detail for each individual store.

Store	Prefecture	May Temporary Suspension Schedule
Matsuya Kishiwada Store	Osaka Prefecture	May 4, 5, 13, 15: 22:00 to 9:00 the next day
Matsuya Kinokawa Ohashi Store	Wakayama Prefecture	May 1–4, 8, 9: 22:00 to 8:30 the next day / May 11–15: 4:30 to 8:00
Matsuya Toyama Tanakamachi Store	Toyama Prefecture	Suspended during late-night hours on nearly every day from May 1 to 15
Matsuya Kurobe Store	Toyama Prefecture	May 1–7, 9–11, 14: 22:00 to 8:00 the next day / May 13: 23:00 to 9:00 the next day
Matsuya Tondabayashi Store	Osaka Prefecture	May 1–6, 8, 15: 0:00 to 6:00
Matsuya Kasugai Store	Aichi Prefecture	May 3, 5: 2:00 to 5:00 / May 7: 0:00 to 4:00
Matsuya Mikage Store	Hyogo Prefecture	May 5, 12: 22:00 to 8:00 the next day

The reason for the suspensions is not explicitly stated in the store data, but the concentration in late-night hours appears to reflect operational circumstances.
