Yoshino Hinoki has strong insect repellant qualities. Thus, Hinoki lumber has been a building material used for traditional temples and shrimes in particular, as well as by woodworkers, for generations. The Horyuji Temple stands as the oldest wooden building in Japan and is a perfect example. Hinoki commonly reminds many Japanese of traditional bathing because Hinoki lumber was used for bathtubs in the old days.
The fragrance of Hinoki is described as refreshing and relaxing.

Hinoki oil‘s properties are said to relieve stress, to help recovery from fatigue, and to boost the immune system. Our Hinoki oil is sourced from carefully grown and managed Hinoki cypress trees in Yoshino Forest, Nara.

Premium Yoshino Hinoki Essential Oil differs from ordinary steam-distilled oil in its extraction method, called decompression and thermal circulation.

Yoshino Hinoki lumber is used, with a preference for the core wood, from which the oil is extracted from the red part in the center. The Hinoki wood is fed into a machine, and the inside of the kettle is depressurized and heated water is circulated to heat the wood for extraction.

The essential oil, extracted by craftsmen who know Hinoki lumber inside and out, has a unique fragrance.
