In the opposite direction are Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the now-closed Kinugasa Clinic, and if you pass under the Hankyu elevated tracks, you’ll reach Shukugawa Station.
Why Shukugawa’s “テイネイ館” Closed
According to information in Google reviews, one post mentioned that the reason for the closure was something along the lines of “a family member was injured.”
Barber Shops Are Declining
It seems the overall market for so-called barbers, haircut shops, and barber shops has been shrinking, and the number of people studying at barber schools has reportedly decreased from 2,330 in Heisei 12 to 847 in Heisei 26.Source (expert column: “Is There a Future for Barbers?”)
With fewer people entering the field, not many new shops are opening, so the number of shops themselves appears to be declining.
Finally
Considering that テイネイ館 had been operating as one of the few remaining barber shops, those who went there must be truly disappointed.
