Ryusenji Temple Traditional Incense Making Experience: At Ryusenji Temple, you can experience making incense using ancient methods. Your guide will carefully explain how to make incense from scratch, so even first-timers can participate with confidence. Incense is said to have the merit of gently affecting the cerebral cortex, calming the mind and purifying the space. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend some time facing the scent. What to bring: Your favorite aroma oil (if you have one). We look forward to your participation. We look forward to a quiet and richly fragrant time together. You can make 5-8 incense sticks per experience. Beginning with a sermon by a monk (approximately 10 minutes), before your incense-making experience, a monk will quietly talk about the effects and benefits of incense. Since ancient times, incense has been considered a "bridge of fragrance" that calms the mind, purifies the space, and connects people with Buddha. Fragrances have invisible powers that can help you sleep better, relax, ward off evil spirits, improve your concentration, and more. We hope you will find your experience deepened through the "teachings of incense," which you don't encounter in your daily life.
