Four Sibling Stores Within Walking Distance: Kita-ku, Where Standalone Stores Cluster

Osaka Prefecture has 71 listed stores, a scale second only to Tokyo’s 106. Five of them sit in Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, home to the Umeda store, and all five fall within a radius of 1.3 km.

Stores in the same ward (listed store name) Straight-line distance from Umeda
Matsunoya Osaka Ekimae Dai-3 Building approx. 570 m
Matsunoya Dojima approx. 930 m
Matsunoya Tenjimbashi 6-chome (co-located with Matsuya) approx. 1.3 km
Matsunoya Minamimorimachi (co-located with Mycurry Shokudo) approx. 1.3 km

The Umeda store is standalone, with neither Matsuya nor Mycurry Shokudo attached. Among Kita-ku’s five stores, it is one of three standalone locations, together with Osaka Ekimae Dai-3 Building and Dojima. Across Osaka Prefecture, 22 of the 71 stores are standalone, 38 are co-located with Matsuya, and 11 are co-located with Mycurry Shokudo. Of the 681 stores nationwide, 122 are standalone, so the format without a co-located brand does not reach 20 percent of the total. That makes Kita-ku a relatively dense pocket of standalone stores.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Twenty-two days, then. With four sibling stores in the same ward, they apparently had the area covered while this one was shut.
