Gokurakuya specializes in buying and selling secondhand goods, with locations in Awaji, Osaka, and Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture. It appears to purchase a wide range of items, including precious metals, jewelry, designer goods, and watches.

The address is 10-1 Oharacho, Ashiya, Hyogo.
In Closing
We’re curious to see which of the shuttered retail units the shop will occupy. There is also a Kaitori Daikichi in the main La Porte building across the street, so competition among secondhand buying shops looks set to intensify even further.
