Tokyo: Matcha and Incense Making Experience 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!

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

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 ❤️

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!

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!

Making incense for the first time. From choosing the ingredients and mixing the powder to kneading and shaping, every step requires a bit of patience. The final scent might not be the most perfect, but because it is hand-picked and custom-blended by yourself, it carries a special sense of memory. It is such a fun experience 🥹 If you get the chance, you should definitely come and try it out!

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.

Very thoughtful and interesting experience with Casey! We've learnt a lot on how to make incense and sampling different spices/ingredients.
