松栄堂京都本店

Founded around 1705, Shoyeido has made incense for over three centuries. Most of its raw materials are natural fragrances brought from China, India and Southeast Asia, and the final sealing is still done by hand. On the second floor of the Kyoto flagship, the workshop still operates, and visitors can book a tour to watch artisans make incense by traditional methods. The signature Horin line offers six scents: the entry-level Nijo sticks (20) cost ¥660 (¥600 before tax), while the top-grade Tenpyo coils (60) cost ¥33,000 (¥30,000 before tax). The official site has English pages and an English shop.
