In the commercial sector, full-scale kadomatsu are usually put up only by certain businesses such as large-scaled department stores or pachinko (Japanese pinball) parlors probably because many stores open on January 2 for the New Year sales; additionally, they are also often placed in front of office buildings that are almost deserted during the New Year holidays.
商店でも、現状では1月2日に初売りを行う場合が多いためか、本格的な門松が置かれるのは大型百貨店やパチンコなど一部の業種か、正月は無人に近くなる都心のオフィスビルなどに限られることが多い。
