Knead, shape, and enjoy the fragrance. Bring a piece of Hagi’s nature home.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Discover the beautiful nature that Hagi has to offer by creating your own incense sticks with ingredients from its surrounding forests. You\u2019ll work with cedar and cypress leaves collected in Hagi, along with the refreshing peel of local natsumikan oranges. Just like playing with clay, knead in your favorite essential oils and shape the incense however you like. It\u2019s an easy, hands-on activity that both adults and children can enjoy.

Take your handmade incense home as a special keepsake of your visit. When you light it, the gentle fragrance will fill the air, bringing the soothing spirit of Hagi\u2019s forests into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
