What to expect
In a wooden building over 100 years old, we offer a workshop where you can easily create your one-and-only chopsticks. Choose your preferred wood, shave it with a plane, smooth it with sandpaper, finish with oil, and complete the process by wrapping your chopsticks. While enjoying the scent and warmth of the wood, you can truly appreciate the charm of chopsticks, an everyday item in Japanese culture.
This experience is suitable for both children and adults, combining the ease of hands-on activity with the joy of taking home a tangible memory. It’s a perfect way to enhance sightseeing or a stroll through Kyoto. Reservations are available, but walk-ins are also welcome. We look forward to welcoming you in a convenient and open space.
Reviews
Outstanding. The workshop was quaint and just the perfect vibe. This is a wonderful opportunity to create something unique to use everyday and a perfect keepsake from your visit to Kyoto. instructor: Charming and knowledgeable, they speak enough English to make this work with no issues.
incredibly friendly staff! The process is fun and customizable. Love the purple wood option and the unique shape I was able to make per my preference. took about 45-60 minutes - highly recommend this location and they are opening more around the area!
Great experience for couples groups families and just the right souvenir to take home and have a little bit of kyoto to remember.
Super creative experience! Staff was super friendly and helpful. The location and the size of the group made it very personal. The end result is a memory that I will never forget. Location was great and easy to find. The only drawback is when you start making add-ons it gets really expensive (like stamping or different wood).
A very nice experience, the staff were extremely friendly and the craftsmanship will ensure that it remains a lasting memory.
incredible experience! It might be tricky to get to location so plan ahead with lots of time for different kinds of train travel. Very memorable time! Would do it again!
Hashi Lab offered a great service and a memory that will last forever. The staff are lovely and guide you through everything you need to know. Would recommend.
We had a fun experience at Hashi Lab making the chopsticks. It was easy to find, the guys were funny and we had a great souvenir to take home. It is also a great price. I would recommend this.
My husband and I had so much fun creating a one-of-a-kind souvenir. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The staff were very friendly and helpful!
It was a great experience! My husband and I quite enjoyed doing this together. We really enjoyed the staff!
