Things to know
About the Activity
・We make 6-7 incense which is the only incense in the world "made only from matcha".It warms without burning to give off the aroma of tea.You don't have to worry about ash care or smoke health hazards. ・The matcha tea used has accumulated in the gap of the machine and has to be discarded.I'm getting that while it's still fresh.You participate in eco-friendly activities while having fun. ・You will use wooden molds for making traditional Japanese sweets, custom-made for incense.It looks like an edible pastry.It is also the only incense maker in the world that uses about 50 different types of candy wood molds.Incense retains its beautiful shape even after the fragrance is gone.It can also be used repeatedly as an aromastone. ・You will receive a special incense burner that can be folded into small pieces.You can take it home and enjoy the scent immediately at home.It is also a great souvenir. · The ingredients of the clay incense are soft and have a healing effect on your mind.And this is for kids who like to play with clay. ・The event will be held at Eshin-in Temple in the center of Kyoto Uji tourism.The garden has many seasonal flowers carefully maintained by the priest.It is a place with a good view overlooking Byodo-in Temple on the other side of the Uji River. ※Please apply for two or more people. ※Once you have chosen "English" as your preferred language, we will arrange an interpreter (¥8,800 extra at the door)1 hour
