Tokyo: Custom Incense Making Workshop in Shibuya

What a fantastic experience ! Our instructor, Casey, has experience making incense and is knowledgeable about the various incense “spices”, their usage, and their history. He speaks English and is extremely friendly and sociable. I appreciate that the process was quite exact and methodical, and I was surprised that we got to customize our incense shapes! We even got cute little boxes to place our incense in while it dries. If I didn’t already fully pack my schedule, I would love to see what other cultural activities this operator has :) I’m glad I gave this a shot and recommend you do too!

An absolute must do whilst visiting Tokyo - Shibuya. Casey was incredible Sharing his grandmothers art and love for insence. Casey’s English was incredible just a lovely lovely relaxed experience. Highly recommend for all ages ❤️

Super fun, very relaxing! You get to smell the different scents and measure each one to your liking. There are also different shapes of incense you can make so it’s very personalised. The instructor was very kind and made fun conversations too! Definitely will book again

I joined this incense making class alone but it was great. They teaches us so carefully about each ingredients and how much to put in. we carved them out afters so we have a few to take home. Great experience overall

This class was so much fun! we're from Houston, Tx. will definitely be back! super fun instructor :) perfect English!

KC and Sho were wonderful hosts that were knowledgeable and extremely friendly. This class came with a quick review of the history and all the scents available to use and their notes. I also received a free piece of China to burn your incense on when class is complete!

Perfect activity in Tokyo for couple and absolutely loved it! Creating our own incense together was relaxing, romantic, and a perfect cultural break from sightseeing.

instructor spoke English fluently and was incredibly friendly! we took our class next to another crafting course and it was fun to chit chat with another group. the location was a bit hard to find though, it’s down the stairs.

This was a wonderful experience. The teacher was very gentle and patient, and the incense-making workshop was incredibly enjoyable. From smelling the different fragrances to shaping the incense by hand, the whole process felt calm and soothing. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing traditional Japanese incense culture - Kodo!

This was such a fun and interesting experience! Casey, the instructor, is knowledgable, kind and explained the incense making process in an easy-to-understand way. You can choose from various scents and shapes, so you’ll have an incense unique to you. I‘d recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, hands-on workshop! :)
