Tokyo Chopstick Making Workshop With Artisan

Its really fun and you can be creative with the process. There are only 3 woods which are free and the upgraded wood is a lot extra but very nice.

Excellent. Enjoyed learning how to do this process. Very fun short activity while in Tokyo. Instructor was knowledgeable and kind.

Such an amazing experience, the staff are so helpful and explain everything so well. They guide you every step of the way so you walk away with your own keepsake. Best experience

excellent. relaxing environment. would recommend for something a little different. staff were very helpful and friendly. there were only 3 of us in our group so got to know the others and more from the shop owners. excellent value for money.

It was very fun and cool experience. It was our first time visiting Japan, and this was one of the most memorable things we did

We stumbled on this place while waiting for the stationery store to open and are so happy we did! Rasmus is a great teacher and we will cherish these souvenirs of our vacation. : )

Fun to do. Owner was very helpful this was wonderful with young kids. And the couple next to us seemed to be having a good time

It was a really cool and unique experience making my own chopsticks. The studio is cozy and the two guides are extremely friendly.

Had a good morning making chopsticks, Yuuka was the best host and was very informative :)

Great experience, a must do - Thank you Yuuka

Very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend as a solo traveller or as a pair/group. Loved making my own chopsticks!

we all had a fantastic time making chopsticks. our teacher was patient and helpful. we have a very unique souvenir from our trip. Would 100% recommend.

Yuuka was fantastic! Fun learning experience!

Amazing Experience! Yuuka did an amazing Job explaining and has a ver friendly personality.

A MUST DO EXPERIENCE. Yuuka was super friendly and super nice. Explained the whole process and stood by to ensure things go smoothly. If you have a chopstick addiction like I do. This is a must!

Yyuka was great and it was a fun experience to make my own chopsticks! You get to choose your specific wood to start out, shave it down, smooth it, engrave(if you want) and oil it. Loved it!

Great experience! Yuuka made it very easy and helped us through each step. Left with a great souvenir to take home!

This was super fun! Yuuka guided us through the whole process and made it very easy

This chopsticks making class was so much fun. It's interesting to learn different types of wood. As well as the apparatus that's used to make it. Every step was supported by the Senseis guiding us. The end product was a beautiful pair of chopsticks to bring home.

Super fun experience! Would def recommend this! Fun to do w friends and family! Something super personalized tht I know my family and friends will love l!

Great and fun experience would definitely recommend and come back again on my next trip. 🦆

It was a really fun experience. Nothing i have done before and everyone was very helpful. I definitely recommend doing this if you are in Tokyo.

Great and memorable experience. Our instructors were so helpful and we had a lot of fun.

Fun and informational. A hands on experience with a take home collectible. Suitable for a wide age range. The host and master craftsman were professional and engaging

It was a great experience and good for the whole family. The staff was helpful. We have a nice keepsake to take home.

This is far from the best way to experience real Japan. The idea of making chopsticks is great and could be a lot of fun, but this specific workshop lacks a lot of the basics. We arrived to find a cosy little space, but with barely any room to leave our coats. We were quickly shown a box of wood and asked to pick one, where only three options were included in the class price and all others carried an extra fee (between 2,500 and 8,000 yen). As you’d expect, the nicer woods you actually want are the more expensive ones. We were then handed the tools and given a very basic explanation of how to use them, about 1-2 minutes at most, and told to crack on. I finished the first step in under 5 minutes while my partner took around 10. We then waited about 10 minutes to be explained the second step, which also took around 5 minutes, then waited another 10-15 minutes for the engraving to be done. That’s an extra 1,000 yen, by the way, and you can’t do it yourselves as it happens behind a curtain by someone else, so you don’t even see the process. At the end we were just presented with a card machine to pay for the extras and handed a small basic plastic container for our chopsticks. We left feeling like we’d walked into a classic tourist trap, and with the sense that a lot could be done better by the owners. A few suggestions: give people some background on chopsticks and how they’re made. People generally love historical context. Tell them the story of the workshop and how you got into this. Pay more attention to the people in the class, give tips while they work, or simply offer some encouragement. This is a class, not a space rental, so people expect support and a human presence throughout. The price is already on the high side, so adding extra fees for something as simple as engraving is a red flag. Make it an experience where people connect with the tradition and actually understand it, that’s how you honour it. A cup of tea is one of the cheapest things you can offer, and it’s such a Japanese thing to do. People will feel far more welcome for it.

Great experience. Easy to Follow instructions and everything provided.

Loved the Chopstick crafting activity. The artisan was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this memorable experience.

We had a great time making our own chopsticks! Tomo and her apprentice are so nice and really made the experience very special. We will often think back to this day, especially when we’re eating with our chopsticks from home :) Thank you Tomo, greetings from The Netherlands!

It was an inviting and fun experience. Tomo was our teacher for the session. She was lovely, helpful, and informative. She showed us the steps and helped us when we were stuck. Honestly this was such a fun little experience! And now both my wife and me will have our own made chopsticks to use! Thank you Tomo for a great experience.

I went alone to have a unique experience and found what I was looking for. Tomo was very kind and professional guiding me through all the necessary steps. In the end I returned home with a nice and unique pair of chopsticks engraved with our family name.

Amazing! Tomo was fantastic. Explained everything to us and made it so enjoyable.

Amazing time with Tomo she was wonderful. Great atmosphere.

We had a lady called tomo and she was so helpful. Was able to help with any questions I had as well as gave clear instructions. Would definitely recommend this place.

Tomo was amazing in explaining each step of the process and made it really easy to understand!

We had very nice experience making our own chopsticks with Tomo! It was not too difficult and the result was beautiful.

Very great experience, and hospitality!

The workshop was very good. We had a session with a few other tourists. We got all the help we needed and had very nice chopsticks at the end :)

This was such a great experience and in such a beautiful workshop and location. The instructor was so incredibly lovely and helped us through every step. I would absolutely love to do this again!
