For those in search of dazzling jewellery, luxury watches or designer handbags, Tokyo is undoubtedly a shopping wonderland. But when it comes to rare finds and exclusive pieces no longer available on the mainstream market, options can feel limited. That’s where Yukizaki steps in. This long-standing jeweller offers an impressive selection of made-in-Japan fine jewellery, coveted designer watches and even hard-to-find Hermès bags.

Founded in 1978 as a jeweller specialising in gemstones and jewellery, Yukizaki has steadily grown into a trusted name in luxury. Today, the brand not only offers its own line of fine jewellery, but also curates a selection of pre-loved designer jewellery and watches, with each piece carefully refurbished to look as radiant as new. 

From its early beginnings in Fukuoka, Yukizaki has since expanded nationwide, with nine stores across Greater Tokyo as well as locations throughout Japan. You’ll find stores in Tokyo’s major shopping districts including Ginza, Shibuya, Omotesando, Roppongi and Kabukicho. All Yukizaki stores offer tax-free shopping, and there’s staff on hand who can communicate in Japanese, English and Chinese.

If you’re considering selling, Yukizaki provides a buyback service for pre-owned jewellery and watches. Don’t forget to bring the original box and warranty card for a smooth process.

Looking for bling in Tokyo and Japan? Here’s why a visit to Yukizaki should be on your list.

You can shop Yukizaki’s very own line of statement pieces

Yukizaki first introduced its house jewellery line in 2011 with the Nombre collection, later expanding with the Alpha series; both collections feature customisable number and Roman letter initial pendants in different sizes. The collections are crafted in 18-karat gold, offered in yellow, white and rose varieties, and are encrusted with high-quality diamonds. These collections are some of the brand's most popular, and are ideal for those looking for something personalised.

Another standout is Yukizaki’s Yobiko series, featuring diamond-studded crosses, feathers and double-top pendants that also function as whistles. Each piece can be customised by adding on extra charms for a unique, layered effect. Meanwhile, the Regalia collection draws on symbols of royal authority, featuring bold pieces like horseshoe pendants, chunky rings and horse-shaped brooches.

For something distinctly Japanese, the store offers luxurious Akoya pearls, known for their smoothness, roundness and exceptional shine. These pearls are available as part of elegant necklaces and delicate earrings. Yukizaki’s original jewellery line also highlights Akoya pearls, including the newest piece, the Double Top Shizuku.

The watch selection is unmatched

Yukizaki has always placed a strong focus on prestigious, high-end timepieces. At the Ginza Chuo-Dori store alone, you’ll find world-renowned brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille and Vacheron Constantin. Yukizaki offers both brand-new parallel imports and carefully curated pre-owned items. Through expert servicing and restoration, even pre-owned watches are presented in a condition that looks and feels virtually brand new. 

Additionally, Yukizaki stands out for offering rare and hard-to-find watches, from older vintage models to pieces no longer in production. Look out for rare Rolex models including the Day-Date, GMT-Master, Submariner, Cosmograph Daytona and Yacht-Master. For a more approachable option, the store also carries a well-rounded selection of Omega watches, including favourites from the Constellation series.

You’ll find rare designer pieces and coveted Hermès handbags

In addition to its house jewellery line, Yukizaki offers an impressive selection of pre-owned designer pieces from Cartier, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston and Graff in pristine condition – including many designs no longer available at regular retail stores. Like the pre-owned watches, each piece is carefully serviced and polished to look as good as new. Yukizaki can also adjust ring sizes in just a few weeks, ensuring you have the perfect fit for whatever you may be buying. 

And it’s not just all gems and watches: If you’re searching for the perfect Hermès bag, Yukizaki is worth a visit too. The store carries a curated selection of new handbags from the past two years, including the Birkin, Kelly, Constance and Picotin styles – and occasionally rare colours like Etoupe.
