Itinerary
Create your own pair of traditional Japanese chopsticks in this hands-on workshop in Kyoto. In this beginner-friendly experience, you will shape, sand, and finish your chopsticks while learning about their role in Japanese daily life and culture. The workshop includes Japanese hinoki (cypress) wood at no additional cost, known for its light weight and pleasant natural aroma. Guests may also choose to upgrade to other premium woods such as whitewood, cherry, walnut, or purpleheart for an additional fee, each offering a unique color and texture. Throughout the experience, your guide will explain the cultural background of chopsticks and Japanese craftsmanship in a simple and engaging way. No prior experience is needed, and all steps are carefully guided. At the end of the workshop, you will take home your handmade chopsticks as a meaningful and personal souvenir from Japan. This experience is perfect for travelers looking for a creative, cultural, and memorable activity in Kyoto.(This service is available in English only.)

Great relaxing fun. Whole family got into it. Engraved family name on one stick and nickname on the other for us all. Matt was awesome to work with. Knew what he was doing and had fun with us too. Earnt his 5 stars :)
Luc was amazing and super helpful! Walked us through and made the process very easy! Would highly recommend.
Such a fun unique experience! Many options for wood as well as engraving which is done by laser that I chose to do & turned out really nice. Everyone was super friendly & helpful. I’m coming back to do the kintsugi class too!
Really friendly bunch , had a fab time making chopsticks, following instructions , I chose another option for the wood and I added some personalisation . I really enjoyed myself, recommended to all
Great! Lots of young instructors and English people- but still fun

Really fun experience to do for anyone, we had a really great time.
Lou was great and highly recommended!
A wonderful experience, I love doing wood shop and this felt right at home!
It was an amazing experience and I created my own memories here! LU is so passionate with his job and he brought wonderful guidance!
Great thing to do with the family!
Absolutely loved my experience at EN! 🇯🇵✨ It was such a fun and memorable thing to do during my time in Japan. I went by myself and was a little unsure whether it would be as enjoyable as going with other people, but I really didn’t need to worry. The team were incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience feel comfortable, exciting and genuinely fun. I can definitely see why this would be popular with families too — there was such a lovely atmosphere and everyone seemed to be having a great time. If you’re looking for something a little different to add to your Japan trip, I’d definitely recommend EN. I’m so glad I decided to go and it’s an experience I’ll remember for a long time! ⭐️
Cool and fun experience. Would definitely recommend!
We had a really nice time on the Kinsugi workshop - the staff were really helpful, their English was great and our bowls are beautiful! Thanks especially to Momo who helped us with the process
