Established in 1928

by Kohei Kogura, Kogura Company has been a family-owned & operated store in San Jose, California with the concept of “building the community with appliances & gifts”.


Kogura Co. has been at it’s current location since 1934, making it the oldest business to occupy its original location in any Japantown in the United States. We aim to provide quality Japanese items & gifts. As times change, so do we. Our store is a blend of past & present which aims to keep the preservation & spirit of San Jose Japantown.

Kogura Co. will always aspire to be a local quality storefront and provide quality items for you & your loved ones.

Our family’s vision has been to provide the neighborhood with gifts & necessities, and we will continue to provide that same neighborhood experience people have been feeling for the past 95 years.
