Top Uji Classes & Workshops

✳︎You makes 6-7 Matcha incense. It warms up to release the aroma of tea. You don't have to worry about the health hazards of smoke. ✳︎The matcha used is the stuff that accumulates in the crevices of the machine and has to be discarded. It is then ordered in fresh. ✳︎The appearance of the incense is therefore in the shape of edible sweets. The beautiful shape of the incense remains after the fragrance has been worn off, so it can be used repeatedly as an aroma stone. ✳︎The clay-like raw material of the incense is soft and has a soothing effect on you. ✳︎The venue is Eshin-in, in the heart of the tourist centre of Uji, Kyoto.Its garden is full of seasonal flowers carefully tended by the abbot.It also overlooks Byodoin Temple on the opposite bank of the Uji River, with a great view. *Applications possible from 2 persons. * If you choose 'English' as your language of choice, we will arrange an interpreter.(Additional payment of ¥8800 on the day).
