Osaka Castle: Chopstick Making Experience & Wood Scrap Aroma Sachet Making
- Make your own chopsticks from 15 types of wood
- Shape and polish the chopsticks using traditional Japanese tools
- Customize your chopsticks with Japanese or native language engraving
- A hands-on experience guided by English-speaking staff
- Take home a special souvenir: a sachet infused with Japanese aroma oil
What to expect
First, choose from 15 types of natural wood, including rare options, to handcraft your own chopsticks. Shape the chopsticks using traditional Japanese tools such as a plane (kanna), and smooth them with sandpaper. Apply oil to give them a glossy finish.
You can also make your own chopstick pouch and have your name or words engraved in Japanese or your native language (additional fee applies).
Take your completed chopsticks home with you on the same day. A special souvenir is a wood-carved scented sachet infused with Japanese aroma oil.
After the chopstick-making experience, you can join a ramen-making class and enjoy homemade ramen using your new chopsticks.
Workshops are open to couples, friends, and families, and no special skills are required. All materials and support from English-speaking staff are included.
Reviews
It was a lot of fun. At the beginning, you can choose the type of wood you want. One type of wood is included in the price paid, while others require an extra charge. The on-site team helps with any questions, and we were allowed to have our chopsticks engraved for free. The leftover wood was given to us as sawdust infused with oil in a scented sachet. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Amazing time. The staff was very helpful and made the whole experience outstanding. If it’s not already on your bucket list I would definitely add it.
