【Kawagoe City, July】Collecting Japanese Furniture, Tableware, and Antiques Stored in Storehouses and Old Houses｜Disposal of Paulownia Chests in Kawagoe City Also Supported, Up to ¥1,000 Discount｜Marutto Honpo Junk Removal

Kawagoe City, known as "Little Edo" for its traditional storehouse-style streets and historic bell tower, is home to many old detached houses, historic homes, and multi-generational households. We frequently hear from families who have long stored Japanese furniture, tableware, and antiques in storehouses, storage rooms, and guest rooms.

Paulownia chests, low tables, guest tableware sets, vases, hanging scrolls, and ornaments—these traditional Japanese items are often too precious to discard and tend to occupy space in storehouses, closets, and guest rooms for years.

Moreover, chests and low tables are large and heavy, tableware consists of many fragile pieces, and antiques can be difficult to evaluate in terms of value. Municipal disposal rules vary by item type, making it far more labor-intensive than expected to dispose of them one by one.

July is the perfect time to prepare for Obon season, homecomings, and family gatherings—prompting many to reorganize guest rooms and storehouses. As demand rises for services like "Kawagoe junk removal," "paulownia chest disposal in Kawagoe," and "bulk tableware disposal," Marutto Honpo is stepping in to help.

Marutto Honpo (operated by SYSTR Co., Ltd. / Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) is launching a limited-time campaign in Kawagoe City to collect Japanese furniture, tableware, and antiques stored in storehouses and old homes.

For collections including Japanese furniture, tableware, or antiques, customers using a fixed-rate package plan will receive a ¥1,000 discount in July. Large items like chests and low tables, as well as large quantities of tableware, can be cleared in a single visit.

Additionally, antiques and old decorative items may be eligible for buyback consultation depending on their condition. This campaign offers a perfect opportunity to neatly organize inherited items, vacant homes, or family homes before summer ends.

✅ Background and Purpose

Kawagoe City has many historic homes with storehouse architecture, old detached houses, and multi-generational or long-term households. Many families still keep Japanese furniture, guest tableware, and antiques in storehouses and guest rooms. Since these items are often passed down through generations, families may hesitate to dispose of them.

In particular:

- Inherited paulownia chests, tea chests, low tables, and other Japanese furniture - Large sets of guest tableware, teaware, lacquerware, and stacked boxes - Antiques and decorative items like vases, jars, hanging scrolls, and ornaments stored in storehouses or storage rooms

These items are often kept due to sentimental value or a sense of waste, continuing to occupy space in storehouses and guest rooms for extended periods.

This campaign is designed to support bulk disposal during the July period, when many prepare for Obon cleaning and homecoming visits.
