Review for: 【Adult】Japanese Chopstick Making Experience with 5 Types of Wood and Engraving

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fun and unique experience in Kyoto! Making our own chopsticks was much more enjoyable than we expected. The staff were super friendly and explained every step clearly, from choosing the wood to shaping and polishing the chopsticks. We especially loved the engraving at the end — it made our chopsticks feel really personal and special. A wonderful souvenir and a great memory from Japan. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a great experience! Dong was a great teacher and made our experience seamless and fun from start to finish. We will be recommending this experience to our friends visiting Kyoto in the future. Thank you Dong! :)

unable to go in at the time we originally booked due to an issue with staff not having the key. they were very apologetic to us and gave us extra to make up for it. They helped guide us through making chopsticks using the blade and sanding. Enjoyed watching the engraving process. Choice of multiple woods to choose from, (some coat extra but a higher quality wood. Nice clean aesthetic environment overlooking the gion diatrict.
