#KyotoTrip I went to visit Kunshukan in Kyoto City ✨ I saw it on Instagram and thought I had to go there! 😂 I assumed it was a perfume shop, but I was surprised to find out it was an incense shop 😳 There are three big boxes on the main floor, and when you go inside you can feel the scent of each one ✨ The first one smelled the best ✨ There is a shop next door where you can also purchase incense 🙌 If you are interested, please go and check it out ✨ #TourismSupport #WesternJapan #SummerShortTrip #SummerWeekendTrip #trip2022 #Kyoto

I went to the fragrance museum "Shoyeido Kunjukan". This is a museum where you can learn about fragrances and enjoy them ✨ Admission is free. As you enter the entrance, you will be greeted by three fragrance boxes. Put your head inside the box and enjoy a different scent. It was an interesting spot where you could learn how fragrances are made! Access: East side of Karasuma-dori Nijo-agaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto (2 minutes walk from Maruta-cho) #Kyoto #Kyoto sightseeing #free spot #Western Japan

While traveling in Osaka, I decided to take an exciting day trip to Kyoto 🚄. There, I stumbled upon an incredibly charming fragrance specialty space called 'Kunshukan 薰習館' 💖. Admission is free ✅, and you can sample a variety of scents on-site 🌿. The space also features a miniature exhibition of the incense stick-making process, which is detailed and meticulously arranged like a small museum—truly impressive ✨. The most fun part was the gacha machine 🎡. You can randomly get incense sticks with different scents, and the thrill and satisfaction of this small fragrance lottery were oddly delightful 💫. The photos turned out beautifully too 📸. If you love fragrances or aesthetically pleasing spaces, this is a must-visit spot 🎀. 📍Address: Higashigawa, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, T604-0857
