It is said to bring a variety of good fortune. Also, there is a famous cherry blossom spot, Umezu Osaki. Omi Shrine, Biwako Terrace, and Ukimido are situated in Otsu and Konan Areas. Biwako Terrace is a popular spot for a breathtaking view. Ukimido is believed to have been built to pray for safety on the waters of Lake Biwa.

What sets this experience apart is the chance to connect with Kyoto’s traditions in a hands-on, personal way. Rather than just observing, you’ll actively create something meaningful — a fragrant incense pouch using real Japanese scents, guided by a local shopkeeper with deep knowledge of the craft. The setting is a long-standing souvenir shop in a historic area near Kiyomizu Temple, not a touristy workshop. Before the activity, we’ll take a short walk through peaceful streets and hidden shrines, where I’ll share stories and cultural background that give context to the incense and Kyoto itself.
