Gold prices in Japan are derived from the international XAU/USD spot price ($3,200.00/oz) converted to JPY at the rate of 1 USD = 149.5000 JPY. Prices are then adjusted for karat purity and local weight units.
When buying gold in Japan, always check the hallmark stamp for purity, compare rates across dealers, and ask for a proper receipt. For investment, 24K gold bars or coins offer the best value as they carry lower making charges than jewellery.
24K gold (¥15,381/gram) is 99.9% pure and best for investment. 22K gold (¥14,089/gram) contains 91.7% pure gold and is the most popular choice for jewellery. The price difference today is ¥1,292 per gram.
Gold prices change daily because they track the XAU/USD spot price on global commodity exchanges (COMEX, LBMA). Two factors affect local prices: changes in international gold value and fluctuations in the JPY/USD exchange rate.
