Reviews
the place was very nice, they had a variety of different wood with different hardness and looks. the staff were very informative and kind as well
We had a fantastic time with our chopstip making experience. The girls were great teachers and very helpful. The experience was made very easy as it was only a four step process. They gave us the opportunity to personalise our chopsticks or even start over if we messed up a bit
We had a great time making chopsticks! Both of the ladies were so friendly and fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend!
We had a great time. Sachi and Nana were really helpful throughout and it was so much fun! Would highly recommend making your own chopsticks, it makes a great souvenir!
Very enjoyable and fun experience in Ginza. Supportive team and lots of choice! Would definitely recommend.
Had a fantastic time!! Everything was explained well, and was a great experience. Great souvenir to have :)
Such a cool souvenir and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend stopping by for a workshop on your trip!
Making your own chopsticks in Japan is a fun and unique experience, and this workshop was a great way to create a personalized souvenir from Tokyo. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the workspace was clean and well organized, and the Ginza location was convenient. My main criticism is that I expected a little more guidance throughout the process. The activity is fairly straightforward, but a few extra tips or demonstrations could have helped participants create a more polished final product. While I enjoyed the experience, I wasn't completely satisfied with how my chopsticks turned out and probably won't use them regularly at home. The music was also quite loud during our session, which made it difficult to have a conversation with my partner while we worked. Overall, I would still recommend this activity to visitors looking for a fun, hands on cultural experience and a unique souvenir to bring home from Japan.
great instructors and process, wood type variants and engraving options were great. overall amazing place and staff!
super fun experience! highly recommend for a group
