Reviews
loved the incense which was self made. instructions were clear and instructors were able to help and explain the process clearly. can’t wait to use my own incense..
This was a great workshop in a lovely little studio by the water. The owner is passionate about perfumes and very friendly. He speaks English and is an excellent host. You leave with your own incense and a wonderful memory of Japan. It's a fantastic activity to do with family, as a couple, or with friends.
