Gold price inJapan today

This page shows a spot-derived value in yen. Japanese dealer prices can also include fabrication, distribution, applicable consumption tax, account or storage services and margin. Retail and dealer buyback prices are therefore different.

Japanese retail bullion prices are commonly shown per gram. The international market uses the troy ounce, equal to 31.1035 grams. Use yen per gram for local dealer comparisons and the ounce price for global market context.

Physical gold sold as a product in Japan is generally handled as a taxable transaction, and dealer retail quotes commonly reflect applicable consumption tax. Imported coins bought for resale can also be taxable. The treatment of a later sale or business input credit depends on the facts, so keep records and confirm current rules.

24K is the fine-gold reference, 22K is about 91.7% and 18K is 75%. Investment bars are commonly high-purity gold, while 18K is frequently used in jewellery for strength. Japanese marks may show K24, K18 or numerical fineness.

The yen market reference is broadly shared, but dealer spreads, fabrication, payment timing, storage, inventory and buyback conditions differ. Compare published retail and repurchase prices from the same timestamp.

The page refreshes its spot and currency references approximately every three minutes while the tab is visible, then refreshes once when you return. The timestamp beside the live rate shows the latest successful update.

High-purity bars from recognised Japanese refiners, bullion coins and accumulation plans are common ways to gain physical gold exposure. Buyers should compare fees, storage, delivery thresholds and resale procedures.

JPY per gram is the most practical local measure. Use JPY per troy ounce when comparing Japan with international markets, and separate the spot-derived metal value from tax, fabrication and dealer spread.
