TOKYO, May 01 (Pulse News Wire) – Matsuya CO.,LTD. (8237.T) reported its sales figures for April 2026, noting a mixed performance across its stores.
The Ginza store saw an 8.5% increase compared to the previous year, while the Asakusa store experienced a decline of 22.4%. Overall, the company’s total domestic sales excluding duty-free transactions grew by approximately 7.0%, driven by strong demand for luxury footwear, bags, and high-end women's apparel. Despite a decrease in Chinese customers due to travel restrictions, sales from other countries such as Taiwan and Thailand bolstered the overall growth rate to around 7.0%. In the duty-free sector, the impact of the weakening yen contributed positively to sales growth.
However, the reduction in Chinese visitors had a notable effect, leading to a more cautious outlook moving forward. Matsuya plans to continue focusing on attracting a diverse range of international customers while implementing various strategies to boost domestic customer traffic. The detailed sales report for April 2026 is scheduled for release on Monday, April 11, at 4 p.m. Kanki Taijō at the Corporate Communications Department of Matsuya CO.,LTD.
