Our family loved our chopstick making experience! My 9 year old son was so focused and determined and Krish and Rio helped guide us through each step. We decided to do the engraving and got our names in English on one chopstick and Japanese on the other. A special experience with a special souvenir at the end.
very nice workshop. highly recommend it. the instructor, Moana, was very nice and professional. you get a lot of options for the wood and engraving as well.
A wonderful chopstick-making workshop for the whole family! Jackie and Omer were friendly, patient, and made the experience really enjoyable. We left with a special, handmade souvenir from Japan. Highly recommended!
its was an amazing experience, thanks a lot to Rio, for his kindness and support in mintoring us :))
My son and I crafted our very own chopsticks from scratch, and the whole thing felt special. The instructors brought so much warmth and humor
The activity was well-organized and enjoyable! We made our own chopsticks, and it was both fun and memorable for all of us.
such a great experience and souvenir to bring home, especially made by you! instructors John and Satoru led the experience with clear instructions and were there to help every step and answer any questions. A MUST DO :)))
A magnificent experience repairing ceramics, first with glue, and then highlighting the break with finished gold. Thank you, Ruena, for the wonderful experience.
We had a very good experience making chopstucks. Our guide Saturo was very nice and helpfull. The atmosphere was comfortable and aloud us to concentrate.
So fun! Azusa and Mayuki very helpful and their English was great. Bit tricky to find which level to go to. Two free selections for chopsticks, and a good selection of paid options.
