JU Gifu Hashima Auto Auction has significantly upgraded its photography system starting from the auction held on January 11, 2025. This enhancement further solidifies JU Gifu as a leading player in the Japan Car Auction industry, providing higher-quality vehicle images for buyers worldwide.
As part of this upgrade, a massive LED lighting system measuring 10 meters in height and 5.4 meters in width has been introduced at JU Gifu. This system utilizes 2,400 LED lights, which illuminate vehicles through a dedicated diffusion sheet designed specifically for indirect lighting. By using indirect lighting, reflections on the vehicle’s surface are eliminated, and shadows are minimized. Additionally, the dimming function ensures an even distribution of light, making the vehicle’s lines appear sharper and more clearly defined. This innovation places JU Gifu at the forefront of the Japan Car Auction market.
JU Gifu’s Commitment to Advanced Photography
JU Gifu has been actively enhancing its photography system over the years. In 2018, the auction introduced the "G Around" system, which utilizes 12 cameras positioned around the vehicle at four different angles (three cameras per angle). These high-resolution images are processed with advanced technology, allowing for a 360-degree rotating vehicle view. This innovative system gained international attention, and in 2019, Apple International Thailand, a major auto auction operator in Thailand, visited JU Gifu to observe the technology. The G Around system was developed by G-NEXT Corporation, a company specializing in software solutions for used car dealerships.
With the newly introduced large-scale indirect lighting system combined with the G Around system, JU Gifu Hashima Auto Auction now offers even clearer and more detailed images than before. Buyers can view 12 exterior images, 4 interior images, and a 360-degree exterior view, making JU Gifu one of the most advanced Japan Car Auction platforms in terms of visual representation.
As a registered member of all major auctions across Japan, Provide Cars has full access to these images. We are here to support your auction needs to the fullest. Feel free to register for free or contact us for more details.

Important Notes About JU Gifu
JU Gifu, like many Japan Car Auction venues under the JU network, generally has more lenient grading standards compared to manufacturer-affiliated auctions such as TAA or HAA. For example, a vehicle graded 4 at JU Gifu would likely be around 3.5 or even 3 under TAA’s grading standards. Buyers should keep this in mind when assessing vehicle conditions.

Why Choose Provide Cars?
Official Membership at All Japanese Auto Auctions
Japanese auto auctions operate as B2B (business-to-business) platforms, meaning general consumers cannot participate directly. Furthermore, auction participation requires strict membership screening and registration fees, which is why many used car dealers and exporters rely on intermediary auction agents rather than becoming direct auction members. However, using an intermediary adds extra fees, which ultimately increases the final cost for end consumers.
Provide Cars is a direct official member of all major Japanese auto auctions, eliminating the need for middlemen and their associated fees. Additionally, we do not charge any membership registration fees.
