lisn Kyoto is a lifestyle shop in Kyoto that specializes in Japanese incense, selling more than 140 varieties. Incense is available in single sticks or small quantities, and customers can smell each one in the store. Staff narrow down recommendations when told the intended situation, such as rest or sleep, and the back of the store holds the full range from popular scents onward. Once a scent is chosen, staff count the sticks one by one into a wooden container.
