New Gulliver Used Car Stores to Open in Saitama and Chiba in July 2026

Gulliver’s Expansion in the Tokyo Area

In an exciting development for car enthusiasts and prospective buyers in Japan, Gulliver, a well-known used car brand operated by IDOM, is set to inaugurate two new stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The store openings are scheduled for July 11, 2026, in Saitama's Soka City and July 18, 2026, in Chiba's Kashiwa City. This expansion aims to provide residents with enhanced access to a wide array of used vehicles in convenient locations.

Gulliver Soka Interchange Store

Located near the Soka Interchange along National Route 4, the Gulliver Soka Interchange Store is situated in a prime area that allows easy access not only from within Soka but also from neighboring cities and the metropolitan hub. The store spans an impressive 3,545 tsubo (approximately 11,700 square meters) and will feature about 250 vehicles on display, ensuring that customers can explore various options in a comfortable environment. The strategic positioning of this store is designed to work in conjunction with the nearby Gulliver Soka 4 store, focusing on meeting the needs of local residents.

Prior to the official opening on July 11, a pre-opening event will take place from July 4 to July 10, 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for potential buyers to visit before the grand opening when a high volume of customers is anticipated.

Gulliver Kashiwa Store

The Gulliver Kashiwa Store, the fourth IDOM location in Chiba, will open in the northwestern part of Chiba. This facility will serve as a central hub for residents of Kashiwa, Matsudo, and Nagareyama, reinforcing IDOM’s presence in the region. Positioned along Kashiwa Nakadori Street, the store is conveniently accessible by public transport, with nearby bus stops enhancing its connectivity.

One of the key features of the Kashiwa store is its indoor multi-story parking area, allowing customers to view vehicles regardless of weather conditions, thus ensuring a pleasant shopping experience even during the rainy season or on particularly sunny days. The store spans 1,101 tsubo (approximately 3,600 square meters) with a total floor area of 2,752 tsubo (approximately 9,080 square meters), showcasing around 220 cars during the initial opening period. This store aims to enhance the car ownership experience for Kashiwa residents and those from surrounding areas.

Focus on Customer Comfort

Both stores prioritize creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for visitors. The design philosophy emphasizes warm, inviting spaces that make customers feel relaxed and at ease while discussing their needs and options.

Negotiation Space

With an open layout adorned with wood and greenery, the negotiation areas have been meticulously designed to reduce tension and encourage open dialogue between staff and clients.

Kids’ Space

To cater to families, the stores include a dedicated kids’ space equipped with books and toys, allowing parents to engage in discussions while keeping an eye on their children.

Café and Lounge Area

Additionally, the stores will feature a stylish café and lounge area designed to capture a serene ambiance. Customers can enjoy a selection of beverages in a café that exudes a premium feel, and they are welcome to bring drinks into the negotiation or lounge spaces.

Commitment to Community

IDOM’s goal through these expansions is to reaffirm its role as the “town car shop,” enriching the lives of its customers by providing a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the needs of the community. The company remains committed to adapting its approach to fit the unique characteristics of each region, ensuring that all automotive inquiries and requirements can be efficiently addressed no matter the locality.
