Otakara Ya Midorii Store is a local buying and appraisal shop serving Hiroshima City’s Asaminami and Asakita areas. It purchases a wide range of pre-owned items, including gold, platinum and other precious metals, diamonds and gemstones, jewelry, luxury watches, brand-name bags and accessories, cameras and lenses, stamps, gift certificates, coins, antiques, artwork, musical instruments, smartphones and alcohol. The store welcomes items that are damaged, worn, missing accessories or available in small quantities, and offers careful assessments intended to identify their value.

Customers can choose an in-store appraisal and purchase, a home-visit service, or an online assessment by submitting photos. Appraisals, home visits and related fees are stated to be free, and the store says it does not use high-pressure negotiation. Staff aim to explain the assessment process clearly and provide considerate service. Located in Midorii, about a five-minute walk from JR Midorii Station, the shop is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; it is closed Thursdays.
