Gulliver Kyoto: A New Era for Used Cars in Kyoto

On September 12, 2026, the much-anticipated Gulliver Kyoto store will make its grand debut, marking a significant milestone as the first large-scale used car dealership in Kyoto Prefecture. Operated by IDOM, this new establishment aims to change the landscape of used car sales in the area by providing an extensive range of vehicles and top-notch maintenance services.

A Comprehensive Selection of Vehicles

Located on a sprawling site of 5,009 tsubo, Gulliver Kyoto promises to showcase approximately 300 vehicles at launch, making it one of the largest selections in the region. This impressive inventory is designed to cater to diverse customer preferences and lifestyles, allowing potential buyers to thoroughly compare and select their ideal car. The store is situated conveniently along National Route 1, just off the Meishin Expressway's Kyoto Minami Interchange, ensuring easy access not only for city residents but also for customers from neighboring municipalities. Public transportation options are equally excellent, with a 30-minute travel time from Kyoto Station via buses and trains.

A Brand New Maintenance Facility

Gulliver Kyoto will also feature an in-house maintenance facility, certified for specific auto maintenance tasks. This facility allows for comprehensive car servicing, enabling customers to enjoy a seamless experience from drop-off to pick-up, without restrictions related to car brands or models. A standout feature of their service is the transparent and interactive quote process, where customers can discuss the work with technicians and even view the maintenance work through glass panels in a dedicated lounge area. This setup ensures that customers are well-informed and comfortable while they wait.

Grand Opening and Pre-Opening Details

In anticipation of the grand opening, Gulliver Kyoto will hold a pre-opening event from September 5 to September 11, 2026. This pre-opening period encourages early visitors, especially since the grand opening day may experience a surge in foot traffic. Beyond vehicle purchasing, customers can enjoy nearby shopping and dining options, making their visit convenient and enjoyable.
