Matsunoya Uji Niban Opens October 10 at 10:00 a.m., Exactly as Announced

StoresUpdated

The listing for Matsunoya Uji Niban (96-1 Uji Niban, Uji, Kyoto) no longer carries the note marking a scheduled opening. The “*Opening October 10 at 10:00 a.m.” appended to the store name is gone, and the scheduled opening date field is now empty. The store opened on the date and time that had been announced.

Change in the listing

Field Before After
Listed store name Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya) *Opening October 10 at 10:00 a.m. Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya)
Scheduled opening date October 10, 2026, 10:00 a.m. (blank)

The listed store name is “Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya),” a store sharing its site with a Matsuya. Business hours are listed as open 24 hours.

The store first appeared on September 25 with the note “*Opening October 10 at 10:00 a.m.,” and no later listing rewrote the scheduled opening date. The Okinawa Hiyagon store, which was due to open around the same time, slipped 14 days from its original September 18 to October 2. Uji Niban, by contrast, reached its date with the schedule untouched.

Two stores in Uji, and co-location is the minority in Kyoto

Two Matsunoya locations are listed in Uji: Uji Niban and “Matsunoya Uji Ogura (co-located with Matsuya).” Both share their site with a Matsuya, and no standalone Matsunoya is listed in the city.

Kyoto Prefecture as a whole has 10 listed stores: 4 co-located with Matsuya, 6 standalone, and none co-located with Mycurry Shokudo. Nationwide, co-located stores account for roughly 70 percent of the 687 listings (488 co-located with Matsuya, 76 co-located with Mycurry Shokudo, 123 standalone), but in Kyoto the standalone stores outnumber them. Uji Niban falls into the co-located type that is the less common of the two within the prefecture.

Seven stores awaiting opening

As of October 10, seven stores carry a scheduled-opening note.

Listed store name Prefecture Scheduled Opening
Matsunoya Yatsushiro (co-located with Matsuya) Kumamoto October 15, 2026, 10:00 a.m.

Matsunoya Asahikawa Nagayama (co-located with Matsuya) Hokkaido November 1, 2026, 10:00 a.m.

Only one of the seven, Shin-Tsunashima, is a standalone Matsunoya; the other six are co-located with Matsuya. Yatsushiro, announced on September 25 alongside Uji Niban, remains in the listings with a scheduled opening of October 15 at 10:00 a.m.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Hmph. Kyoto is full of Matsunoya standing on their own, yet both Uji stores sit beside a Matsuya. Nothing to choose from in Uji.
