I had the pleasure of meeting 2 people who worked with me in making my chopsticks. Very respectful, very helpful, and allowed me to learn as they gave the best advice. please apply them!!!
The staff was so kind and helpful. Super fun experience. Just know you get 3 woods with the basic package and the rest are an upgrade for quite a bit more money. But it’s definitely worth it and the final project turned out beautifully! Awesome souvenir to have.
This was a wonderful experience to have with my niece on her first trip abroad. When booking this tour, be aware that when you pick your chopsticks there is a type of wood chopstick that is included in the cost of the class. If you want a nicer wood, you'll simply have to pay the difference. The space was wonderfully air conditioned and a welcome respite from the rain. I would absolutely do this experience again. Our instructor also gave us instructions on the care of our chopsticks; and they offered engraving, which I skipped because we were short on time. Sami, from Bangladesh, was our instructed and very easy on the eyes! (LOL!) The rest of the team were so helpful and inspected our chopsticks to make sure we created a set of chopsticks worthy of giving.
We had an absolutely amazing time with this experience. Everyone there was so kind and helpful. We particularly apprciated Rin, who helped every step of the way and made it even more memorable. There are a range of options (more basic woods up to some very beautiful and more expensive ones). This was definitely a highlight of our time in Asakusa. We had made reservations for a later time (4 pm). We stopped by about 90 minutes early to see if they had room for us, and they made it work!
this was a very fun experience! there were so many woods to choose from and even an option to personalize them with my name! the staff were friendly and the store was super clean because it's relatively new highly recommend to those who are looking to find something to do for an hour!
I'm so glad we added this to our itinerary, it was so much fun! We got to choose our own favorite woods out of the many options they offered. The staffs are super friendly and chatted with us throughout the entire workshop! If you are looking for something to do other than just walking around I really recommend this place! Nice place to cool down as well!
This was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had! The staff were so kind and helpful, and i had so much fun making my own chopsticks!! I highly recommend this shop!;)
fun fun fun , nice service , in fact , the one time chop sticks are much stronger than the chopsticks I made , cost me extra 2000 yen , HKD 125 for 2 pieces soft chopsticks … nice memory 😘
A very interesting experience with very pleasant, attentive, and helpful staff. I highly recommend it.
Really fun activity to do. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great souvenir to take home.
