Tokyo Workshops

One of the best experiences you can have in Tokyo! Informative, fun and incredible. JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO CHALLENGE THE SUMO WRESTLERS!!! It’s the absolute best!!! Dai, the host, made the evening even better :).

Our family of 4 had a great time! Learned a lot about the sumo culture. The MC was wonderful and funny. We were able to understand the MC as he was a foreigner and spoke perfect English. There was audience participation. Free gift. Highly recommend.

instructor: was clear and straight to the point and understanding safety:safety instructions were clear and crisp easy to understand equipment: the equipment was good no problem with it location: was indoors and the building location has a bus stop outside experience: was excellent I would recommend I’m more than willing to go again

Our package has a choice between two types of wood only, and all the other wood types require additional costs (from 2k-10k ¥) and were said to pose more difficulty in creating the chopsticks due to wood hardness. Place has a pin on Google maps and is walkable from Shinjuku station, and the class isn't exactly one-on-one. Most instructors were European so there's not much of a language barrier. They're all approachable for any questions or assistance in case there's something wrong with the blade or you're having difficulty with your wood type (or maybe you're unknowingly going against the grain). Making the chopsticks takes effort and care, but even children can make it with you because of the wood docks/mold you can mount the chopstick into while shaving/carving it. Such a unique experience and definitely worth the price!

A really enjoyable and hands-on experience. The chopsticks making class was well organised, relaxed, and easy to follow, even if you don’t have any prior experience. It was great to make something yourself rather than just buying a souvenir, and the process was surprisingly satisfying. The instructors were patient and welcoming, explaining each step clearly and making the experience feel personal rather than rushed. You walk away with a useful, meaningful keepsake that actually reminds you of your time in Japan. A nice change of pace from sightseeing and a great cultural activity to break up the trip. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something interactive and memorable.

Very interesting activity to do, very friendly staff who guides u very well. Will definitely do again if I visit Ebisu, Tokyo. U get a free bag with every customised jeans. They also sell other items made from jeans material too.

A great experience! We enjoyed the experience and product - a great keepsake and fun memory. It was helpful having an instructor who was able to guide us in English too, very lovely people there. Just note that there are two locations for the shops in the same area as we got a bit lost finding directions to the right one!

this was a wonderful class. making my own chopsticks was fun, and took some physical strength. i appreciated that they allowed us to add on the gold lacquer plate artwork, which made for a lovēy afternoon.

This by far is the best experience we've had in Japan. The instructor is very entertaining and explained all the Samurai moves with passion. He made us feel comfortable and always encouraged us even when we weren't doing the right moves. His assistant was all smiles and also very patient with us. The one who was taking the videos and photos was amazing. She captured us in action really well.
