About Kaoruju-do Hall

Kunjudo is a historic 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 "Kikuai-kun" and based on our management philosophy of "Love customers and love 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, focusing on materials that replace the main raw material of incense sticks, we have succeeded in developing "Eco incense sticks" made using unused domestic wood, and donate a portion of the proceeds to the Setouchi Olive Fund. By donating, we cooperate and support nature conservation.

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