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.

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.
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.
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!
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).
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.
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.
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!
