Experience traditional knife making in Kyoto

Haru was amazing!! Explained clearl, He made the workshop interesting! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the instruction and the knife making! I engraved my name in Japanese! Thank you very much Haru🥰 I really enjoyed it!! I recommend coming it's an amazing Japanese experience!!

This was a great event for my whole family! Friendly, encouraging, instruction from Kiito gave my twin boys confidence in building a new skill while learning some of the history and cultural influences on Japanese knife making. I got all of that out of it, and my knives at home will be sharper in the future!

I had an amazing experience taking this knife making class. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire process approachable, even for a beginner. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and hands-on, which made it both fun and rewarding. Walking away with a custom knife that I made myself was incredibly satisfying. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning a new skill or trying something unique in Kyoto.

There's just something really special about making your own knives, so it's definitely worth the experience and the money 🤩 We were guided by Haru the whole way through, and he was very precise, so we were super happy with the result 🔪✨

they teach you how to sharpen a pre made blade. then you can get them to engrave whatever you want on the wooden handle. then you can keep the knife. it's in a big craft room with about 5 other different craft classes happening. The instructor was good, gave clear instructions to everyone.

Excellent service. Yo and his colleagues were extremely helpful in teaching is how to properly sharpen, care for our knives and keep the whetstones used in proper order. They can also engrave on the handle which is a fun addition to the process.

From the start Lu was extremely friendly and his English was very good. He was very patient and knowledgeable with all the information given about the steel and the handle. He also engraved a message onto our knifes at the end on the laser cutter, which was a very nice touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience.

A really nice experience. We learned how to professionally sharpen our knives and personalized them with laser printing. Our guide was incredibly attentive and helpful.

This was so fun! Our guide 'Lou' ruled. Super friendly, helpful, and fluent in English as well. They can engrave anything that will fit on the handle too, so you can decide. Highly recommend.

What an AMAZING experience! We took both the knife-making and Kintsugi workshops with Haru and Kito, and it was exceptional. The balance between professional guidance and a welcoming atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly authentic craft experience!
