What to expect
Discover the timeless art of Japanese craftsmanship by creating your own pair of handmade chopsticks. Choose from a selection of beautiful natural woods—each with its own unique color, grain, and texture. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, use a hand plane to shape your chopsticks with care and precision. Then, refine the surface with sandpaper to reveal the wood’s natural beauty and achieve a smooth, comfortable finish. Complete your masterpiece with a coat of natural oil, giving it a warm, polished glow. For a personal touch, you can even have your name engraved in Japanese, transforming your chopsticks into a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake. Create not just a utensil, but a lasting memory—a beautiful piece of Japan to take home and cherish.

What an amazing way to spend 60mins, this activity guided and instructed by Aleyna was fantastic. ypu have the options to just use the basic wood included in price or upgrade to additional priced wood as well as paying a little more for engraving. all up was very affordable and a great keepsake memento for a fabulous trip. thanks again Aleyna, we were very happy with our chopsticks x
Sota was very kind and very helpful while I struggled to plane my chopsticks on the right sides. I really enjoyed the process and they have a wide selection of wood types for an extra charge. Friendly staff, clean environment.
we had the most amazing experience making chopsticks with Aleyna. She was very patient & thorough. Highly recommend coming here!

Our whole group loved this experience thank you to Marine and Hannah!! We had a blast and tried a variety of woods. The instructors were accommodating and polite. John made us feel very welcome the whole time :)
The workshop was so much fun and such a good experience, it's such a good experience and way to get a cool and useful souvenir, the staff was lovely as well, I had Thierry and Yin helping me out during the process and they where so helpful and nice.

amazing experience! aleyna was super helpful and so sweet and fun to talk to! me and my brother came together and had a super fun time, we definitely recommend coming here, and thank you so much aleyna for being so kind! instructor: Aleyna
Amazing experience! The workshop was fun, unique, and very well organized. Lucy was so friendly, helpful, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
From the start, our guide made us feel completely at home. He introduced each type of wood, explained the process in a way that actually made sense, and answered every question with a smile. It's rare to feel this comfortable trying something new. Worth knowing upfront: the nicer woods and the engraving option each add a little to the price — but honestly, well worth it.
