This is a cute little store specializing in imported goods from Japan. There are many beautiful and unusual gift ideas and practical items as well. I love going in just to look around and see. The store is ordered and clean and the staff are gracious.
From beauty and care products to gachapon figures and tabi socks. This place has it all!! If you want something Japanese this place probably sells it ! The customer service is superb and the prices are really great for imported product. Definitely a place to take your friends or family members who love Japan!
My family and I visited this store for the first time today. It is such a darling place! It is very clean, organized, and the employees are friendly and knowledgeable. We were delighted at every turn with the unique, clever items that are sold there. It is such a fun place to visit and has gifts and products that would please everyone, even hard to buy for family and friends. Be prepared to spend a lot of time at J. Avenue - there is a lot to see!

Lovely shop. Quiet. Staff are helpful not invading. Staff are polite and cheerful. Shop is very clean and all the items are useful or adorable.
My favorite little local shop to get all my kawaii needs!
Hoooooooooollllllyyyyyyy shiiiiiiitttt its expensive. Its so expensive... Oh my gawd. Just... I cant get over how expensive it is here
Im so happy I found this store. Im an anime lover so I found a lot of kawaii stuff that I wanted. This shop is so cute and fun. The staff is also very friendly, I felt so welcomed.
Love it. Pricing isn’t bad!
Love this,,,,,,,,, They have unique items that we cannot buy and Northern Kentucky where Im from we travel 4 hours round-trip just to shop there and at the bakery and Market love it,,,,,,,😄
Nice place, but didnt have any hair accessories I was looking for.
Super cool shop! A lot of different types of unique Japanese gifts are available.
They have beautiful and useful things. I enjoy shopping there.
Neat and cute store! you can buy plushies, stationaries, and bodycare stuff from here. i love coming here, the atmosphere is so calming and the workers here are so polite, theyre always here to help
Extremely friendly staff! We enjoyed visiting and browsing the cute items that they have in stock
Always amazing to visit super cute plushies!
I went in to buy chopsticks and came out with gorgeous chopsticks AND a ton of cat-themed items! :D
It has a really soothing environment that enlighten the shopping experience. Their selection of goods has wonderful tastes. Something to bring to your attention is some of the things they sell will have limited amount/ they will not import it again. So be carefull to secure the things that you want to buy, since you may never see it again...
Always have adorable items for gifts, housewares, etc.❤️ This place
Such a fun place to explore and shop! We always are able to find interesting products, all top quality, useful, fun. On our most recent visit we purchased a lovely sake serving set, 3 cups (sakazuki) and a flask (tokkuri) to use with the Hana Lychee flavored sake we purchased at the nearby Tensuke Market.
I absolutely love J Avenue! You can find the cutest and coolest, trinkets, clothes, dishes, gifts, stationary and more there. I would warn you that if you see something you like dont hesitate. Buy it! Otherwise, it will go fast! Be sure to stop at J Avenue to browse, buy and experience the wonderful staff if you are in the area. Spend a few hours in this plaza and you wont regret it.
Not sure what the J represents, but this store is ok. Definitely has an unlimited variety of different ways for it to be upgraded and to be even more useful. over all the supply and demand for Japanese products makes sense. Perhaps if they were boulder into providing more, sell out items.Uhm yeah thats about it.
Filled with a variety of japanese gifts and products. it also has a very clean and calm aura : )
Very diverse set of products and nice Japanese based products from beauty/health care to fun anime toys
I love this place. It’s clean, it’s well organized, and the staff are always welcoming and kind. They stock all sorts of cute things: plushies, Pokémon and Studio Ghibli merch, teaware, incense, pens and stationary, stickers, ceramics, and more! I love coming here when I’m in the area, and I will always recommend it~
A great place to shop for gifts. Large selection of Japanese style bowls and plates. They also sell imported Japanese skin care. Friendly staff.
This is an adorable place. A little expensive, but you literally cant get this stuff anywhere else. My wife and sisters are obsessed with it, and while I cant see myself spending money on a tiny wonder box cat keychain or a sad plushie egg yolk, I get it. If you like all things cute and Japanese this is your place. Its clean and bright and fun just to browse.
Staff is always sweet and the variety of goods they carry is always worth a visit.
Just hearing the name of this place makes me smile. The workers are so sweet and the merchandise is adorable. The prices are good. I love to buy little gifts from here. Of course its location in Kenny Centre is perfect.
I just spend $45 to purchase some gifts there. To pack them in a gift bag cost extra $0.46. The gift bag is semi clear. So they used 2 packing sheets to cover the side wall of the bag. The top of the bag is open. You can see the inside of the bag. I asked them use one more paper to cover the top. They told me, it’s 10 cents per sheet. 10 cents is nothing, but enough to make me don’t want to shop there anymore.
J. Avenue has a great selection of cute knick knacks to personalize your home with. The staff are cordial and kind to you, and the atmosphere is maintained by keeping the store clean and playing extremely tasteful jazz. Would recommend this place to anyone with a lot of disposable income, as the prices are a bit much sometimes. Overall a great experience.
They no longer have mugs and it seems that the pricing has increased
A lot unusual Japanese items. Priced well.
Cool place to get a slice of Japan
Amazing cute gift store! They have great prices and the people working there are very kind. Strongly consider giving them your business! They deserve it.
Cute store with lots of great stuff. Friendly staff.
Diamond in the rough... great place
I love it, lots of cute things to buy. The staff is friendly. The store is organized. It is a bit on the expensive side but still very much worth checking out.
Adorable gift shop, with lots of perfectly cute gifts - great place to find something for the person who has everything!
It is a really nice shop! The employees were super friendly and willing to help answer any questions that you may have. The prices are high, but it is to be expected with having to import most of their items from Japan.
A fun shop to browse
Friendly staff and a store that offers unique Japanese gifts and authentic imports. Additionally it has beauty products and kitchenware as well. Ideal for finding great gifts and trinkets!
Only place for hundreds of miles you can buy all of these Japanese novelties. The prices are reasonable for most things, dirt cheap for others, and outrageous for few. If you have ever lived in Japan, you are bound to find a few things that you recall from your past there. Its a wonderful place to get a gift for someone, especially if the are into Japanese or Asian things.
Cute little Japanese gift shop. Has great selection of Japanese bowls & cups. I never walk out of their empty handed 😂
Tons of fun Japanese products here, but the prices are a little steep. Employees are very careful with products and extremely nice.
Best place in Central Ohio to find authentic Japanese goods.
Loved it! Amazing place.
I always stop by here when in the area to check out the new stock! Great place to get sheet masks, stationary sets, dishware and plushes. The staff is excellent!
Beautiful shop with super cute items and gifts but also with lovely elegant ceramics, books, stationary, cosmetics, and household goods. My favorite shop in the city for all things Japanese, and gracious helpful friendly staff. ありがとうございます!
Lovely store and I was very optimistic about buying things here, but what I found myself doing was exclaiming over how cute everything was but not buying anything. I expected it to be expensive, but $11 for a mechanical pencil was a bit much. Cute to look at, but not as much as youd expect.
Great Japanese store!!! Good service!!!
Love the atmosphere here! Very clean and well organized, loved the jazz music too. Super cool stationary, with brands like Rilakkuma, Sumikko Gurashi, and Sanrio. A tad pricey but worth it, since you usually have to buy these kinds of things online. Will definitely come back!!!
I think this is the only place you can buy Japanese stationary in Columbus. It is very well organized and minimalist, but has lots of Japanese goodies. I always have to pull myself away from the Ghibli collection up front...
This is such a cute little shop for basic needs. I come here to get my favorite shampoo but there is always some cute pen or knick-knack I come home with!
All places are based on my experience yours could be different 4 star for me
I bought some ceramics and they broke even before getting them to my house. They are very delicate. I have been buying ceramics for years and In all my life I have never seen ceramics of low quality like the ones sold her.
Absolutely exquisite a most charming shop.I love to visit J.Avenue. I always discover the best items here. From Maneki Nekos to Alpacasos. They also stock a lovely selection of fine dishware. Small bowls forrice, chopstick rests, sauce dishes. I have purchased and received many gifts from J.Avenue. Its definitely worth the trip.
The workers are SUPER nice! The products are so cute, and most things are reasonably priced. I love going here.
Always super friendly employees, the store is always clean and well kept. Lots of interesting beauty and cute merchandise to choose from!
Its a great place to go for a quick gift idea, but the store is mostly bare, and its a not pricey. There arent many other places around Columbus for Japanese beauty products, though. I wish they would just combine the store with Tensuke and Tensuke Express/Sushi Ten in a larger location, to have a bigger, more selection Japanese Market more lile Mitsuwa.
The most adorable little Japanese shop. Tons of authentic Japanese gifts, cookware, beauty products, and more. Only complaints are the limited hours (close at 6pm) and items being a little overpriced.
This is the cutest litter Japanese store ever.
Love love love this store!!! Nice staff and the products get updated each season.
Always cute stuff. Good for cute homegoods and school/work supplies.
Very nice
Small store with a great collection of Japanese and East Asian-imported goods. They have cosmetics, cleaner, houseware, and toys.
Staff is very friendly, atmosphere is peaceful, and all of the products are beautifully displayed.
Cute stationary and gift store. Pretty good variety of gifts.
Cute little shop. I regret not buying the ninja tabi.
Great little store with plenty of gifts, toys, and other things.
A cute shop with some unique items but quite small and spacious.
Wide selections of good japanese cosmetics and toiletries as well as lots of miscellaneous things. Helpful staffs.
Neat place for little knick knacks!
Awesome!
Cool and unique collections of Japanese merchandise. It is kind of expensive though.
This is my wifes favorite store.... Lots of trinkets and gift items
Kawaii (cute) little store with Asian specialty items. Books, Manga, more in other languages. Chopsticks, dvds, magazines, more... Sanrio items, stationary items, phone charms, great pens!
