Kumamoto has five Matsunoya stores, all co-located with Matsuya

Including Yatsushiro, Kumamoto has five Matsunoya locations. All five are co-located with Matsuya, and not a single standalone store operates in the prefecture. Yatsushiro is the only Matsunoya in the city of Yatsushiro, with no other listing there.

The same pattern holds across all eight prefectures of Kyushu and Okinawa. Fukuoka has 20 stores, Saga 1, Nagasaki 2, Kumamoto 5, Oita 6, Miyazaki 5, Kagoshima 7 and Okinawa 10 — none of them a standalone store. Every one is co-located with Matsuya, except for a single store in Fukuoka co-located with Mycurry Shokudo.

Across the 688 stores nationwide, 489 are co-located with Matsuya, 76 with Mycurry Shokudo and 123 are standalone stores. Standalone stores make up nearly 20 percent of the national total, making the zero in Kyushu and Okinawa a sharp outlier.
