Otakaraya, a purchasing service by e-fran Co., Ltd., announced the opening of 18 new direct stores across 14 Japanese prefectures in May 2026. This expansion increases their nationwide network to 1,780 locations. Amidst gold price fluctuations driven by Middle East tensions and the early summer home organizing season, Otakaraya is expanding its footprint to provide more accessible professional appraisal and buying services for unused precious metals, jewelry, and branded goods.
