Japan has its own incense tradition, kodo, built on woods like sandalwood and agarwood, and Shibuya’s workshops let you blend and shape a few sticks of your own over a bowl of matcha. Omotesando’s perfume studios take the same idea somewhere more modern, with a bottle of your own mix at the end.
Whisk matcha, blend aromatic ingredients, and shape your own incense in Shibuya. A calm, hands-on Tokyo workshop with a take-home souvenir.
