In addition to the precious fragrances "Sea raccoon incense" and "Musk deer", the "Smells of great people" project, which is appearing for the first time in Hokkaido, allows you to experience scents that evoke the image of the time, such as the scent of fragrant wood that warlords used before battles (there are various theories), and the scent of Sakamoto Ryoma, a great man from the end of the Edo period.
