Matsunoya Ibaraki Naka Store's Map Position Moves About 22 Meters Southwest

StoresUpdated

The position shown on the map on the store information page for Matsunoya Ibaraki Naka (co-located with Matsuya) has been rewritten. The latitude and longitude listed as of the 13th point to a spot roughly 22 meters southwest of the previous location in a straight line. The address, store name, and business hours are unchanged.

Only the latitude and longitude changed

The latitude accounts for about 13 meters south and the longitude for about 17 meters west, adding up to a shift of roughly 22 meters to the southwest. The address remains “2-10-2 Takenouchi, Naka, Ibaraki,” the business hours remain “open 24 hours,” and the store name carries no note indicating a relocation or closure.

The only Matsunoya in Naka

Fourteen Matsunoya stores are listed in Ibaraki Prefecture, and Ibaraki Naka is the only one in the city of Naka. Of those 14, twelve are co-located with Matsuya and two are standalone stores — a heavier tilt toward Matsuya co-location than the nationwide figure of 470 co-located stores out of 678.

Listings rewritten in the fine print

Small changes to the wording on store information pages have turned up elsewhere as well: at TOFROM Yaesu, which opened in August, the unit number in the address was rewritten from “Unit 1111” to “Unit 103.” At Ibaraki Naka this time, it is not the wording but only the map coordinates that moved, and the text on the listing stays as it was.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

A map pin off by 22 meters. On foot, nobody notices.
