Created in Collaboration with the Renowned Incense House SHOYEIDO
SHOYEIDO is a distinguished incense maker that has been operating in Kyoto for over 300 years, dating back to the mid-Edo period.
In partnership with SHOYEIDO, we have created our Hotel’s exclusive incense TAKARAGAIKE. Designed to embody the spirit of Kyoto, we spent about a year developing this exquisite fragrance to provide our guests with a more enchanting stay. The stick-type incense is available for sale exclusively at our Hotel, allowing guests to take the aroma home.
About ＳＨＯＹＥＩＤＯ
SHOYEIDO has a history of about 300 years. It traces its roots back to Sasaya, a business established by Moriyoshi Rokuzaemon Hata, who was a village head in Tamba Sasayama. The third generation owner was a master waterman at the Imperial Palace named Moritsune. He began making incense under the name of SHOYEIDO. Ever since, the company has remained dedicated to the craft of incense making. It is now under its 12th-generation owner. With a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills refined by tradition, SHOYEIDO artisans produce various kinds of incense, ranging from religious incense and fragrant wood for tea ceremonies to high-quality stick incense for banquet rooms and inexpensive incense for everyday use. They also foster and enhance the culture of fragrance through various cultural activities such as publishing and workshops.
