Experience of making incense on Awajishima, Japan's best incense production

Hyogo Prefecture produces the most incense and incense sticks in Japan. Among them, Awajishima accounts for about 70% of the production volume in Japan.
According to the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), it was Awajishima that the raw material of incense was first introduced to Japan about 1,400 years ago, and the history of incense began in Awajishima.

With such an incense that Awajishima boasts, you can experience making a cute scent that can be enjoyed as a room fragrance.

Choose your favorite from various colors and fragrances, make incense dough, and make shape with cookie-type etc. It can be made with simple work, so children can have fun experience. It is also recommended that you choose a different color to make colorful incense.

Why don't you make a cute-shaped incense with a soft scent as a souvenir of Awajishima?

About Kaoruju-do Hall

Kunjudo is a historical incense company founded in 1893. It is also known for the first time in the world to develop micro-smoke incense sticks.

We are committed to developing and manufacturing better products every day based on our management philosophy of "I love our customers and love our fragrance."
In order to protect nature, we use coconut shell charcoal, which is designated as an eco-material, as a raw material for incense sticks with less smoke. In addition, we have succeeded in developing "Eco Senka" made from unused domestic wood, focusing on ingredients that replace the main raw material of incense sticks, and donate a portion of the proceeds to the Setouchi Olive Fund to provide cooperation and support for nature conservation.

In addition to traditional incense sticks, we also offer incense sticks, smell bags, etc. that can be enjoyed as room fragrances. Please come to the memories of Awajishima.
