Matsunoya: Two Stores Including Motoyawata Kitaguchi Open at 10 a.m. Today

StoresUpdated

Two stores, Matsunoya Motoyawata Kitaguchi (Ichikawa, Chiba) and Matsunoya Kamishakujii (Nerima, Tokyo), have had the “*Opening September 18 at 10 a.m.” note removed from their store names, and the scheduled opening date field is now empty as well. The listing had given the opening as 10:00 a.m. today, September 18, 2026, and both stores are listed as open 24 hours.

The Two Stores That Opened

Listed store name Location Business Hours Co-location
Matsunoya Motoyawata Kitaguchi Itoshin Building 1F, 2-5-6 Yawata, Ichikawa-shi, Chiba Open 24 hours None
Matsunoya Kamishakujii (co-located with Matsuya) Sakae Building 1F, 2-25-5 Kamishakujii, Nerima-ku, Tokyo Open 24 hours Matsuya

Before the note was dropped, the listed names were “Matsunoya Motoyawata Kitaguchi *Opening September 18 at 10 a.m.” and “Matsunoya Kamishakujii (co-located with Matsuya) *Opening September 18 at 10 a.m.”

Fourth in Ichikawa, Sixth in Nerima

With Motoyawata Kitaguchi added, the listings for the city of Ichikawa now come to four stores. The others are Minami-Gyotoku, Gyotoku (co-located with Mycurry Shokudo) and Ichikawa (co-located with Mycurry Shokudo), which makes Motoyawata Kitaguchi a standalone store paired with neither Matsuya nor Mycurry Shokudo. Chiba Prefecture has seven stores co-located with Mycurry Shokudo.

Nerima Ward, where Kamishakujii lands, now has six stores. The others are Shakujii-Koen, Shakujiidai (co-located with Matsuya), Toshimaen (co-located with Matsuya), Oizumigakuemachi (co-located with Matsuya) and Nerima, so Kamishakujii joins the ward’s most common pattern.

Coverage Listed Stores Co-located with Matsuya Standalone Store
Chiba Prefecture 47 stores 32 stores 8 stores
Tokyo 106 stores 49 stores 35 stores
Nationwide 679 stores 471 stores 122 stores

Chiba’s share of standalone stores is not far off the nationwide figure. Tokyo, by contrast, has fewer than half of its stores co-located with Matsuya, and standalone stores are thick on the ground.

Four More Stores to Come

Setting aside the two that opened on September 18, four stores still carry a scheduled opening date in the listings.

Listed store name Prefecture Scheduled Opening
Matsunoya Sayamadai (co-located with Matsuya) Saitama September 30, 2026, 10:00 a.m.
Matsunoya Matsusaka Kamada-cho (co-located with Matsuya) Mie October 1, 2026, 10:00 a.m.
Matsunoya Shimonoseki Chofu (co-located with Matsuya) Yamaguchi October 1, 2026, 10:00 a.m.
Matsunoya Okinawa Hiyagon store (co-located with Matsuya) Okinawa October 2, 2026, 10:00 a.m.

The Okinawa Hiyagon store is the one whose listing was rewritten from “early October” to October 2 at 10:00 a.m., and all four are listed as co-located with Matsuya. Nationwide listings stand at 679 stores.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Motoyawata brings neither Matsuya nor Mycurry. Stands on its own.
