Beautifully curated shop filled with treasures. Many are sourced from Japan and these include dishes and other useful items. Also art pieces, cards, bags and jewelry. I love visiting this store.

We absolutely loved visiting Kobo when we lived on the Hill and highly recommend you go here just to have a fun look! Theyve made every birthday, anniversary, and holiday gift choice so easy for me. They also have great cards and furniture and home goods, handmade and imported. I really love them. Go look at their awesome stuff!

The best spot for niche Japanese stationery, art and fabulous Shoyu!

We were early for our reservations at Cook Weaver around the corner (so good) and stopped here. This shop has some of the most beautiful ceramics I have seen on display anywhere. I am a potter and have been for 20 years. If you love very high quality artisan pottery, this is the place. Definitely worth the stop.

Very expensive and very cold (not sure why they can’t even give the salesperson a space heater. Seems cruel) but super cool stuff. Plus you can buy socks for 45 bucks and a bath mat for 100. but there are other things more reasonably priced and cool.

Both Kobo shops are excellent sources for unique gifts and interesting items.

Cool shop with some interesting and fun items.

Nicely curated selection of Japanese goods. A lot of Japanese dinnerware, tea sets, gifts, and some footwear. Im sure Ill be back next time Im this part of Capitol Hill.

Unique artists work for purchase, graphics, ceramics, jewelry & more. Neighborhood gem.

Very interesting store and the person running it is nice.

Theres so many cool little things here, great for unique gifts!

I found some very cute shopping bags! One for a friend (doggies) and one for myself (kitties). Adorable!

Super cute little shop with Japanese home goods, linens, clothing, and a few charming knick knacks. My girlfriend got a beautiful pair of sunglasses which were reasonably priced and I found a book Im very interested in. The owner was super friendly and helpful and was playing some really cool Ethiopian jazz that I talked to her about.

Cute shop however the employees are horrible. I guess a better way to say that is the family of the employees are horrible and the employees dont have customer interests in mind. The last time I visited the husband/boyfriend of the lady working there came in and literally told me and my family to get out because he needed to go somewhere with her. He was irate and annoying and she basically did nothing. I have never been there since and never will be back. I live in the neighborhood and tell all my friends the experience I had at this shop!

Beautiful store with interesting and artistic items!

A carefully curated shop with well made items. Worth a visit in every season

Quaint shop with great unique gifts.

Gorgeous little shop, love how curated everything is. They have a great selection of Japanese inspired gifts, especially textiles and cards.

Great little store. High quality items for the price. I usually get my girlfriend something for here on Christmas or her birthday.

Beautiful small space with great gifts, local pottery, and home goods.

Cool little place with Japanese items and local pottery.

BEST QUALITY ONE OF A KIND GOODS
