Kyoto: Chopstick-Making Workshop at HASHI LAB

The chopsticks making class was so fun! Right at the start we went to the wall to pick out the type of wood that we wanted to use, each having different colors and characteristics like the level of hardness. I picked the Shimakokutan, which is a dark wood that has the highest level of hardness. it took me a few minutes to get used to shaving the wood, but got easier as I went. Mikki and Konoka were very helpful the whole way through and I’m very happy with the chopsticks that I made!

a very fun and cool experience! the team was very helpful in guiding you through the whole process. you can also make upgrades by choosing different materials or adding personalization. it was a really great activity and creating the chopsticks makes a perfect souvenir to take home and enjoy! I highly recommend reserving ahead.

We really enjoyed this experience. We definitely underestimated how much work it takes to make chopsticks, but even though it was hard work- its actually pretty easy to do. I wouldn’t recommend it for young kids, but 13 years and older should be fine with supervision and adult support. The end result is a beautiful product that you can use at home. NB: be aware that the price you pay on Klook is for “cheaper” wood options only and excludes engraving. For nicer wood and engraving you need to pay extra at the venue.

Great experience for couples groups families and just the right souvenir to take home and have a little bit of kyoto to remember.

Staff were friendly and the whole process was very enjoyable, would definitely recommend coming here. A great souvenir to take back home.

I booked this on a whim and was not disappointed! The hosts were friendly and helped us every step of the way! Going home with great memories and a personalized set of chopsticks!

Really lovely staff and place! I was there with my two boys, 11 & 13. We all enjoyed it and could demonstrate our wood working skills! 😁The chopsticks will be a fond memory of Kyoto!

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!

A fun novel experience, the staff were very helpful and accommodating, and it was great to have options to personalise your souvenir. A bit on the pricey side but worth it for an hour of fun and a great memory to take home

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).
