What to do with actual physical gold?

We've been gifted several gold jewellery and bars as a wedding gift. We're not quite sure what to do with it. We don't even keep much money at home, having to store several million yen worth of gold is nerve wrecking.

Do we sell it? Who do we even sell it to, pawn shops?

Do we keep it somewhere?

Can gold even be deposited in a bank?

The most annoying thing is that, we were planning on buying a house. Our relatives winked and told us they've got our deposit covered. Now they say we should keep it as an investment.
