Story & Recommendation
Making Japanese traditional incense over 300 years
Originally Shoyeido was established in 1705 to manufacture Japanese traditional incense called “Koh” in Kyoto. In 2014, when they had the opportunity to set up a new store in Kyoto station, developed a new concept with its brand name of Shoyeido Kunkun. Even though they have a lot of history for over the past 300 years, they have kept creating a wide range of “Koh” items for various customers. Kunkun series that you can buy only at this store are the good souvenir, since these are offered 20 kinds of incenses today. Although the store along the busy street, the time of inside the store goes slowly due to a fresh fragrance and friendly staff. It is worth stopping on the way.

Colorful packages in a row look so beautiful that you will be wondering about what to choose. The most popular incense is Sirakawa (¥594). Sweetness of sandalwood aroma comes out slightly. It would give you a good sleep and calm you down. It is with a stick holder that is made of soil and please return it to the soil when there are no sticks left. It is so light and easy to bring.
