Things to do in Hōkō-ji Temple

Ash and Wil guided us perfectly through this knife-making workshop. They demonstrated great knowledge of the technique and were attentive at every step to ensure our knives turned out perfectly. It was a wonderful activity and a lasting memory; now, every day when we cook, Japan will be in our thoughts.

The experience was fun for the whole family. It wasn't too difficult to shave the wood, even for my 8 yr old. We chose Sugi, Walnut, Sakura, and Purple Heart. Victor K. was very helpful, professional, and patient. He provided clear instructions and helpful hints to make the beautiful chopsticks. You can tell he truly enjoys the craft of making chopsticks. The personalized engraving was a fun extra we all loved.

this was a good experience:) i didn’t have it planned before hand my original plans changed because of the weather so this was a great alternative option, great price, you can spend as long as you want exploring the exhibits, the team was so kind, and i was also able to book off klook while walking to teamlabs so that was also super nice and convenient, they also had free lockers!!

Had a wonderful experience at the store! Majo was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made everything easy and pleasant, and her excellent customer service truly stood out. The store was also clean, organized, and had a great selection. Highly recommended! Thank you, Majo! 💖 We love you so much 😍😍

Very fun experience! Small plates are included in the price, though you can purchase larger plates or bowls of you want too. The team spoke very good English. We bought our tickets from Klook which was simple, I would recommend using what3words to find the location though as this is easier to find this way ///debt.promises.pinch

This was the best cultural experience we had in Japan! 🇯🇵✨ We experienced many Japanese cultural activities during our trip, but this was definitely our favorite. ❤️ We especially loved that it was completely private. 🥰 It was just us, so we could relax, take our time, and ask as many questions as we wanted. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. 🍵🇯🇵 We had tried another tea ceremony before, but it lasted only about 10 minutes and felt very rushed. This experience was completely different! Our host spent a full 90 minutes with us and truly cared about making it special. ❤️ We also loved trying Japanese calligraphy for the first time and learning how to write our names in Japanese. 🖌️✨ Choosing our favorite kimono was also so much fun! 👘 We had plenty of time to take photos and videos, which made the experience even more memorable. 📸🎥 It’s a wonderful way to experience authentic Japanese culture. ✨

my husband and I just did the Kintsugi and Chopsticks workshops and LOVED it!! Patrick guided us through chopsticks crafting and Will walked us through Kintsugi. Both guides were phenomenal, spoke great English, and were hilarious and fun! 10/10 I’d recommend doing again!

Very well explained and hands-on experience. I think they did a great job to set expectations about the postage of the creations that we made there in advance: there are truly no surprises once inside! The facility is clean, everything is really well explained and we had lots of fun. The time went really quickly

This experience was amazing. we highly recommend it. great occasion to make something special. The staff were very helpful. spoke great English. very friendly.
