Capturing Japanese Memories in Scent: 'YOUR MUSK by John's Blend' Experiential Shop Opens at Narita International Airport for a Limited Time

Nor Corporation, the company behind 'YOUR MUSK by John's Blend,' a fragrance specialty shop where customers can experience making original fragrance sachets, will open a limited-time pop-up store at Narita International Airport starting June 3, 2026.

The store features a theme centered around the elegance of cherry blossoms (sakura). The soft pink ambiance links the scenes of a journey in Japan with scent, providing an immersive experience that locks precious memories into fragrance.

Before passing through the boarding gate or upon returning home, the shop offers a 'final experience' to entrust one's stay in Japan to scent, allowing it to blend into daily life.

About YOUR MUSK: Entrusting Memories to Scent
'YOUR MUSK by John's Blend' is a fragrance specialty shop that gives form to travel memories and sceneries through scent—something invisible yet deep-seated in the heart. As a popular experiential shop featured on social media, it offers a special experience where visitors can create their own 'one-of-a-kind' fragrance sachets by combining their favorite scents and materials.

Already loved in historic Japanese towns like Kyoto and Kamakura, the store is now bringing a new form of souvenir to the world from Narita International Airport: the 'lingering echoes of travel' that continue even after returning home.

Last year, YOUR MUSK received the 'Special Award (Global Award)' at the 'Omotenashi Selection 2025,' which certifies excellent Japanese products and services.

Their initiatives, which integrate the upcycling of kimono fabrics, traditional braided cords (kumihimo), and scents representing Japan's four seasons, have garnered high support from both domestic and international tourists. The experiential value, packed with the 'spirit of hospitality' that Japan can be proud of, where tradition and modern sensibility resonate, has been internationally recognized.

Your Own Fragrance Bag, Worn with Japanese Traditional Beauty
In the 'Original Fragrance Sachet Making Experience,' the store's main offering, visitors can choose three scents out of about 15, and combine them with their favorite sachet bag and braided cord to create a unique fragrance sachet.

The sachet bags are made by upcycling kimono fabrics that have finished their primary role. Encountering a kimono filled with a history that once colored someone's life is a true 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience (ichi-go ichi-e). Because they are cut and crafted from single kimonos, each piece is 'one-of-a-kind,' with a unique pattern placement.

For the finishing touch, customers choose a 'kumihimo' braided cord produced by a long-established workshop in Kyoto. The delicate weave and luster of the cord, crafted with artisan skills, accentuate the elegance of Japanese traditional crafts.

Visitors can also add optional 'embroidery charms' featuring motifs such as cherry or plum blossoms. Furthermore, a charm featuring 'Mount Fuji,' the widely known symbol of Japan and a World Heritage site, is available exclusively at the Narita pop-up shop.

By adding these optional charms, customers can further express their 'individuality' and the 'essence of Japanese souvenirs.' By combining favorite scents, they can complete the ultimate personalized gift that feels as if they are taking Japanese aesthetic consciousness home with them.
