Matsuya Co., Ltd. reported March 2026 department store sales showing a modest overall decline, with total company sales down 4.3% year on year and customer traffic down 3.1%. Performance diverged between locations, as the Ginza store recorded a slight 0.8% sales increase while the Asakusa store saw a sharp 47.4% drop, highlighting uneven demand across its network.
