When people think of incense from Mount Kōya, they think of Kōya Reikō. Widely used at temples including Kongōbu-ji, the head temple of Kōyasan, this incense is prepared from caref ully selected natural aromatics based on the traditional Buddhist “Five Fragrances” recorded in ancient Indian scriptures: agarwood, sandalwood, clove, borneol, and turmeric, along with other natural fragrance materials. Each stick is 32 cm long (1 shaku 2 sun), offered as one bundle. This extra-long format is especially suitable for formal ceremonies, extended offerings, and traditional temple-style use at the home altar. The fragrance is calm, deep, and evocative of historic temples—quiet, dignified, and understated. Made using only natural aromatic ingredients, it is also a reassuring choice for those who prefer to avoid perfume-like scents. When lit, it produces a clean, steady white smoke. As this is a fuller-smoke style incense, good ventilation is recommended in smaller or enclosed spaces. Enjoy at home the same authentic incense traditionally used at Kōyasan temples, preserving the classical Buddhist incense tradition.
