Kyoto, Japan’s most historic and traditional city, is also deeply rooted in the ancient culture of incense.

Located just a short distance from Kyoto Station, the shop quietly stands on Hanayacho Street, tucked behind Higashi Hongan-ji Temple.
This area, once a bustling hub for flower merchants and a thriving temple town near Nishi Hongan-ji, still retains the timeless charm and tranquility of Kyoto.
We invite you to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a moment of peace — accompanied by beautiful, soothing fragrances.
Take a deep breath and enjoy a serene moment in an atmosphere that feels far removed from the noise of the city.
