Tokyo Asakusa Chopsticks Workshop: Make Your Own Pair

I booked this and the Kintsugi art class they offer and was so impressed. The staff were amazing and the place is amazing! My husband and I started with making chopsticks. They have a couple you can choose from that were included or you can upgrade to some other chopstick options. We went with the ones included. We worked with Umar and he was so patient and kind to explain each step of the process. For a small additional fee you can also have your name engraved in Japanese which we did! I would highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Tokyo!

found this experience looking for things to do while staying in asakusa! thank you so much to mai and umar were so helpful and knowledgeable! definitely recommend 😊 also the building location is next to taito station if you have issues finding the address on google maps or apple maps!

★★★★★ Best bang for the buck activity in Tokyo! We just finished a chopstick making activity and it was easily one of the best value experiences we’ve had in Tokyo. The instruction was excellent — clear, patient, and easy to follow even for total beginners. We had a great time throughout, and there’s something really special about getting to bring home a personalized set of chopsticks we made with our own hands. It’s a souvenir that actually means something. Highly recommend this experience, and we’d absolutely do it again. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable activity in Tokyo, this is it!

We had such a wonderful family experience at this Japanese craft studio. We made our own chopsticks, and it was both fun and memorable for all of us. The activity was well-organized, enjoyable, and something we will always remember from our Japan trip. Highly recommended for families! The Filipino staff were kind and always smiling.

This is my first time traveling to Japan, and while looking for a memorable activity, I chose the chopstick-making experience! Experiencing traditional crafts in Asakusa, which is currently the hottest and most traditional spot in Tokyo, was something my children loved so much and will surely remember. Moana was so kind and taught us in such detail that even though it was our first time, the kids had no trouble following along. It's going to be a lifelong memory. If I visit again, I'd love to do it again!

I had so much fun with making the chopsticks, it was a very nice process, choosing your wood (you can pay more for special wood types, shaving, sanding then oiling. I got the Hiba wood and the smell is amazing. The girls, Serena and Noemi, were heaps fun and social, they really look after you and check in. They are very warm and friendly. Even if you make mistakes it’s a fun laugh out as some have made ‘toothpaste picks’. So worth it while in Asakusa.

I had a really nice time at 禅 ZEN Chopsticks Studio in Asakusa yesterday! I only booked the night before, and I’m so glad I did. The workshop was a fun and interesting experience, and I really enjoyed learning something new. A big thank you to Erika, Moana, and Mai for looking after me during the workshop. They were all so lovely, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a lovely way to spend some time in Asakusa, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different to try.

guided by Saira and Erika, like the previous days. but today I met Umar and Kai, they helped me with the other chopsticks… coz I made four again today. learned and talk a lot with Kai, he’s funny and awesome!!! Dewy and Nao were here too and I like seeing their friendly faces every time! LOOOOVE THIS PLACE

awesome fun creating memories with the kids and a great keepsake to take home. highly recommended ! Leandro and saturo were great teachers.

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.
