香老舗 林龍昇堂

Hayashi Ryushodo began in 1834, selling incense, burning incense and fine fragrances such as kyara and agarwood in Kyoto since the end of the Edo period. Its history page records the 190th anniversary in 2024, and in 1985 Kyoto Prefecture honoured it as a Kyoto long-established shop for carrying on tradition and trade for over a century. The signature Choshun-ko is a short sandalwood stick (¥1,500 including tax), its name given in English too. Entry prices are low: lantern-shaped Enoshima-ko (sandalwood, four pieces) costs ¥1,210 including tax, and the Gion-themed Maiko maimai Gion-no-akari costs ¥2,200.
