Gold Price Today in Japan – JPY per Gram & 10g

Sources reviewed: 18 October 2026. The gold quote above has its own observation date.

Read gold in Japanese yen per gram and compare the international reference with Japanese dealers’ separate tax-inclusive selling and buying quotations.

The Yen Reference and a Dealer’s Counter Price

The Japan dashboard expresses international spot gold in JPY. It is a metal reference, while a Japanese bullion dealer’s counter price is an offer with its own tax, spread and transaction conditions. A difference between the two should be examined through those components before it is interpreted as a market discrepancy.

For example, TANAKA’s published price page distinguishes retail selling and retail buying prices, labels them tax-inclusive and states that the metal prices are per gram. It also notes excluded small-bar charges or commissions. Those are that dealer’s own published terms; this website does not claim to reproduce TANAKA’s executable offer.

Small Bars and Separate Charges

Compare the complete payable price of a bar, not only the per-gram headline. TANAKA’s transaction-fee page explains separate charges for smaller bullion quantities and different methods for purchase and sale fees. Check the current schedule for the exact product and transaction. A 10-gram calculation in the dashboard should not be treated as a dealer’s all-inclusive price for a packaged 10-gram bar.

Before selling several bars, ask whether the buyer applies a charge to each item or to the combined accepted weight. Keep brand, serial and packaging information available because the acceptance process may depend on the product. The useful comparison is the total you receive after the stated charges, measured against the same gold quantity.

Karat and Japan Mint Fineness Marks

Japan Mint’s certification information explains fineness markings in parts per thousand. A 750 fineness corresponds mathematically to 18K. For a K18 jewellery item, use the weight of its gold alloy and the 75% fraction; do not value all its weight at the pure-gold rate. Stones and other components should be identified separately.

A fineness mark helps describe the material, while a dealer’s buying offer determines the commercial transaction. Gold jewellery, bullion and a commemorative coin may require different assessments. Check the product description before applying a generic per-gram calculation to a collectible or mixed-material object.

Tokyo, Osaka and Other Local Comparisons

The city entries share the national JPY reference. Ask local shops for quotations that use the same tax basis and the same transaction side. Comparing one seller’s tax-inclusive retail price with another buyer’s pretax reference would produce an artificial difference.

For historical comparisons, align the yen exchange basis and source timestamp. The JPY reference can change differently from USD gold because the currency conversion also moves. The chart describes the chosen series, not the realised return on a particular bar purchase after fees and resale terms.

The gold transaction-charge guide helps compare a yen headline with the complete bar cost. The USD gold page supplies the corresponding international-currency context.
