Kyukyo-do is located in a fun covered shopping arcade in downtown Kyoto. The store takes up at least twice the width of the other shops, and features dark woodwork that creates a sense of age befitting the incense house. Stationery and calligraphy supplies take up most of the shop space. Most of the customers browse for the selection of decorative cards and fans and incense counter. The incense is located on one end of the central counter and there is a glass case surrounding the cash registers and gift wrapping, which contained the high-end incense and better incense accessories.

The service given by the sales associates is very warm as they help out by lighting individual sticks, to better get a sense of the scent.
