Subway's New Location at Senshu University Ikuta Campus

Subway, the popular sandwich chain operated by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT, is set to open its newest outlet at Senshu University Ikuta Campus in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture on June 1, 2026. This will be Subway's ninth location within a university in Japan, reflecting its commitment to serving students and faculty members in educational settings.

The Ikuta Campus, accessible by the Odakyu Line from Mukogaokayuuen Station, is a bustling hub for students, providing an ideal environment for the anticipated foot traffic at the new Subway location. The restaurant aims to cater to the varying needs of its customers, whether they are looking for a quick lunch between classes or a more relaxed dining experience. By positioning itself within the campus, Subway hopes to become a convenient choice for meal options among the university community.

Self-Ordering System Innovates Customer Experience

One of the standout features of the new Subway location is its innovative self-ordering system. This user-friendly approach allows first-time visitors to place orders at their own pace, which can alleviate any anxieties they may have regarding the ordering process. Customers will simply follow on-screen guidance to customize their sandwich just the way they like it. This advancement ensures that even those unfamiliar with Subway can enjoy the experience and delicious offerings.

Subway is proud of its ability to cater to individual preferences, a hallmark of its service since its inception. The chain has been experiencing a remarkable trend, with sales from existing locations increasing for 67 consecutive months, indicating a strong demand for its products. With the opening of the Ikuta Campus store, Subway's total locations across Japan are expected to reach 234, further enhancing its presence in the competitive sandwich market.

Subway's Historical Journey

Subway began its journey in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, when founder Fred DeLuca started the small sandwich shop at the age of 17 to fund his college education. Today, the chain has evolved into a globally recognized brand that emphasizes fresh, customized sandwiches designed to meet individual tastes. Since entering the Japanese market in 1992 with its first store in Minato Ward, Tokyo, Subway has been dedicated to delivering quality sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, prime ingredients like roast beef or shrimp avocado, and of course, plenty of crisp vegetables prepared by staff known as sandwich artists.

With the new location at Senshu University, Subway not only highlights its presence in educational environments but also embodies its ongoing commitment to freshness and customer satisfaction. Everyone is invited to experience this new culinary destination, and Subway looks forward to welcoming guests soon!
