I had such a fun experience making chopsticks with Japan Guide Star. The staff were very friendly, knowledgable and helped me with each step of the process. I went alone which was no problem and really enjoyed the creation process! Definitely recommend the experience and a great souvenir to take home.
It was really fun, Yui was such a good instructor. I felt like it was a unique experience that I would recommend to anyone in Tokyo
Great experience, excited to bring our chopsticks back home!
Nice experience to make your own chopsticks hihi.
Though I had difficulty with my blade at first, which was blunt, once replaced was great. Danny especially was hands on, never stopped smiling, supportive, patient and explained the technique of using the shaving better in my opinion as well as the engraving and what my name meant in Japanese. Not taking away from the other staff all were great, the studio was packed and everyone was enjoying themselves. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience from start to finish! Everyone was lovely and helpful great keepsake!
The experience was wonderful, staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable I would highly recommend everyone to attend you won’t regret it
Very informative and fun experience to make chopsticks and engraving names onto them with meaning. Instructors were very patient and helpful throughout the experience
Staff are friendly & we had fun making them! Also situated in a great part of Tokyo so was easy to fill in the day!!
This was a fantastic way to spend an hour making something very personal. We had a wonderful teach and she was so helpful and patient with us. Highly recommend. The Purple Heart wood is very tough to work with, it’s a great workout
Great time with our grandchildren and now we each have a souvenir. The staff were very helpful and engaging.
Great expérience, kind stuff, thank you !
The experience was really nice! The guides were excellent and very pleasant.
Amazing experience and super easy to book, it was the best souvenir from this trip and they helped me engrave my chopsticks with my name in Japanese, a truly unique experience, 100% recommend
The best experience ever! Had a great time making my own chopsticks! Worth it!!!
So much fun! I had lots of guidance throughout the entire part and the staff were so nice! All the staff!
Wonderful experience!! Ulisse is so nice, he helped us in every moment of the process.. super recommended!!
Keiko is the BEST! We had an incredible time and she made it so much fun and enjoyable. We’re super happy with the chopsticks we made and are excited to bring them home!
We did the chopstick and kintsugi classes. The workshop is an open space with staff who all seem to know what they are doing and take turns helping you. It seemed like it can get busy but all of the staff were very helpful and kind even when there were a lot of people. Nonoka in particular was very friendly to us! The activities were fun and simple to understand and it is nice to be able to take the end product home. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a traditional craft or wants something fun for crafty children to do.
The workshop is small, but do not let it fool you. This is one experience you must not pass on because the staff are VERY nice and they also speak English. Wendy was the guide for me and my girlfriend, and Wendy was very informative, helpful, and especially kind. This place is very amazing and it’s easy to make your own chopsticks! I walked in and they helped me pay for my admission fee, which was only $12 for two people. The chopsticks themselves have differing prices, ¥8000 for a premium wood but their cheapest is ¥2000! It takes around 30-45 minutes for the whole experience, I went on a Saturday and it was not that busy. I would honestly recommend this to any couples, or families looking for a long-lasting souvenir that they can also use for the rest of their life :).
We had such a nice time at this workshop, great vibes and we loved making our own souvenir. You can make a base model or a super high end personalized version, it’s totally up to you. Definitely recommend.
This was a great experience! It was easy to follow directions and I love how knowledgeable the stars was about the types of wood.
Amazing ! Fun thing to do with your family ! We are 5 in the family. Did spend 8000 yen
Very good experience with wonderful staff. There is a lot of different woods to choose for your chopsticks. Gladly recommend if you pass nearby.
Last minute plans after being approached on the street with a pamphlet and it was our best experience here. Everybody is so friendly and helpful and the prices are amazing.
Natasha and Andrea were so kind and helpful!
Good experience, fast paced and busy but informative and enjoyable
Best experience, everyone was so sweet ! Me and my family had a great time
Friendly atmosphere, easy activity and a wonderful staff!! I am recommending this spot specifically.
Very fun experience. Our instructor was super friendly and helpful. Great keepsake from our trip. Thank you!!
This was my first time experiencing woodworking in Japan and I would like to say that this won’t be my last as this experience was one of my favourites. The workers were amazing and guided me to make sure I was making the product correctly . Nono ,Sunny and Jesse was so helpful and I would recommend trying this activity out!!!
Awesome experience- friendly staff and learnt so much today!! Highly recommend!!
Very fun experience! Best souvenir on our trip!
Fun experience and good souvenir
Very friendly and helpful staff, even when we arrived late, Tatsuya-san was very patient and guided us with how to shave and sand our chopsticks. Would come again if we had the chance to next time!
It was a fun experience! Learning about different woods and going through the experience of making our own chopsticks is really enjoyable! Thanks Hatsuya for the guidance! Highly recommended.
Really fun activity to do in Tokyo. The price varies based on the kind of wood you choose. The staff is very helpful. My only critique is that at one point there were too many staff members and we felt swarmed. We had 4 different people coming up to us and it was overwhelming. Otherwise, the staff is nice and helpful.
Really fun experience, awesome selection of woods and the worker explained the meaning of each woods really well. 10/10 experience :)
Everyone was very nice. Got my own chopsticks now!
We had a great time doing this. It’s not something that takes incredibly long and the area around it was amazing. Also isn’t expensive to do and can easily be done if on a budget. The guide was nice and very well versed in the craft. Would definitely recommend
We booked via Klook and had an amazing experience. Thank you!
It was such a good experience. We enjoyed a lot and they were very friendly.
Great cultural experience and it was a fun activity. Our family, and especially our 5-year-old daughter, really enjoyed it! We are already recommending it to our friends.
Interesting and fun experience hosted by a kind operator. We spent 45 minutes making our chopsticks and felt it was a fabulous activity for a bit of time during the afternoon.
A fun experience had by all, especially the kids.
Staff was all so helpful and friendly. My family and I had an amazing time.
Excellent workshop and a very knowledgable and helpful guide. It was so fun to make our own chopsticks!
My experience here with my fiancé was fantastic! All the staff are super friendly and very supportive when making our chopsticks. If anybody has time to stop by and try this experience I would 100% recommend this location!
Guide was super informative and my Fiance and I had a great time! Experience was about an hour and we can also engrave our names. Highly recommend!
