Kungyokudo: Japan's Oldest Incense Shop
Even within the realm of incense, there are many varieties—stick incense, literary incense, pressed incense, insect-repellent incense, and more. Kungyokudo, Japan's oldest incense purveyor located in Kyoto, has preserved and transmitted this Japanese fragrance culture for over 420 years. It was established in its current location during the Azuchi-Momoyama period in Bunroku 3 (1594) as a medicinal herb merchant serving Honganji Temple.
