I've heard about this store but never had the chance to visit. Honestly, I was worried it was a…read morepop-up store and I missed it! Thankfully, it wasn't and I'm glad I finally visited. The store has a lot of Thousand Skies merch (of course), but also a lot of other artists' work. Very similar to what you'll see at some SJmade fairs, you'll see a lot of prints, charms, caps, plushies, washi tape, and more. I could probably spend just as long in the store as I would at SJmade. When I was shopping there (5/17/26), Thousand Skies had a free reusable bag for any purchase of $50 or more on their merch. Not sure how long they will keep this promotion, so hurry and make your visit if this is something you'd like!

There is parking outside of Moment JapanTown.

We hadn't been to Japantown in San Jose before, but we regularly visit Japantown in San Francisco…read more Since we were going to be in San Jose anyway, we planned on walking through the neighborhood and I'm glad we did. It's just a few blocks, from what we saw and most of the stores and restaurants were closed on Sunday, but stumbling across Petite Galleria made it worthwhile. One of those nooks with barely more than a shadowbox-sized space, it reminded me of one - a tiny opening to a treasure trove of cuteness! Leeonnista was there to help show us items when we tried to point to the trinkets we were curious about and it was a bit comedic trying to direct her up and down, left and right - trying to communicate which particular item had caught our eyes, while dodging distractions. All the pieces were made by local artists and we ended up picking out two sketches and three pairs of earrings.

Parking is easy and free on a Sunday, especially in downtown San Jose, so best time for you to explore without worry of a ticket or getting your car towed. The moment you walk in you'll be welcomed by adorable merchandise by a local seller- Thousand Skies- by her cute prints, stuffed plushies, and keychains. There's many more independent artists deeper within that were selling items from washi tapes, keychains, tote bags, and stickers. Super clean store with natural lighting that highlights the goods inside. During this time until July 9th, 2023, there's a special anime exhibit featuring original artwork based on SpyxFamily and Chainsawman!! I had to go, awesome exposure for local artists that love anime. There was an entire wall dedicated to their crafts from paintings, mugs, and more! In that room, there were other artists that delivered on Filipino culture with cute enamel pins and Kpop with BTS themed prints. Versatile room that highlighted so many fandoms and identities. Loved the experience so much that I couldn't go empty handed and bought two prints from the special anime exhibit! Definitely come visit! :)

It shares the same building with the Mitsuwa Market, so, of course, the shop is much smaller than the other ones out there, making it a bit more cramped. With this in mind, the books, stationery, gifts, and other goods here aren't as impressive as say a standalone Kinokuniya (common sense) or the ones that are located in malls. Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the options that I have in SoCal. It's not bad when you're in the area, but if you're a tourist and want a more comprehensive Kino experience, I would say your best bet is the Japantown SF location. However, it's still nice to stop by and see what cute stuff that they have.
