    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kamigyo-ku Kageyukojicho 164

    御所から1本西に入ったところにあるお香専門店。 香初体験の友人と香炉の整え方と香の聞き方を体験するコースに参加。自宅でも出来るようにやさしく丁寧に教えてくれる。伽羅のほかに5種を聞く事もできて良かった。香りの微妙な違いに次は三種香や源氏香などの香当ても挑戦したいものだと思った。聞香で癒されたあとに、お菓子とお抹茶まで頂きほっこり。

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
