Tokyo: Paggawa ng Chopstick na Workshop at Karanasan sa Kulturang Hapon

This was one of the best things we did on our whole 3 week Japan trip! We couldn't help but come again. The staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable and their english is very good. You get to choose which wood you want to work with. Three types of wood are included in the price, one of them beeing cedar, from which most shrines here are built and which smells incredibly good. More rare kinds of wood like Purple Heart with an astonishing color or Ancient Cedar, which is now banned from being felled, come at an additional fee of up to 6000 yen. For 1000 yen you can have your chopsticks engraved in both Latin alphabet or Japanese. Depending on the workability of the wood, which is clearly specified for each kind, making the chopsticks is very easy to a little challenging. Kids can do this too! Also, the staff is so supportive and the working process so easy, you can do this even if you aren't a big artisan. A big shoutout to Yumi, who was our wonderful Sensei. Would always come again!

Lubos naming nasiyahan ang Tokyo Ginza: Traditional Chopstick Making Experience. Mula sa pagpili ng kahoy na gusto naming gawing chopsticks; pagpaplano ng kahoy sa patulis na hugis; pagpapakinis ng anumang iregularidad sa kahoy (at pagkakaroon ng pag-ukit ng isang espesyal na mensahe na idinagdag – na isang opsyonal na dagdag at depende sa oras); at sa wakas ay pagpapahid ng langis sa mga patpat. Ang mga instruktor ay palakaibigan at nagbibigay-kaalaman. Ang workshop sa itaas (mayroon ding lugar sa ibaba) ay maayos na inihanda na may mga kinakailangang kagamitan at apron. Lubos na inirerekomenda ang karanasang ito.

Amazing experience!!! My wife and I attended the workshop and we each made our own set of chopsticks. Mayuka and Isabel were extremely kind and friendly. They explained every step of the process and were very patient with us throughout the workshop. We chose the Yakusugi and Sakura wood for our chopsticks. Everything was provided and the workshop was easy to find.

Napakasaya nitong gawin sa Japan. Magaling mag-Ingles ang lahat, napakatulungin nila at binibigyan ka ng sunud-sunod na tagubilin sa buong proseso. Talagang hindi mo ito magugulo! Kahit ako, na nakabasag ng chopsticks 😂

Isang natatanging karanasan! Ang instruktor ay napakabait na tao (napag-usapan pa namin ang mga lokasyon ng anime sa Tokyo 😅) napakalinaw ng mga instruksyon at higit sa lahat, napakasaya... ito ay isang karanasang 100% na inirerekomenda.

Chrisato and the staff we are super amazing. Great English instructions. This was so fun to make and a great keepsake. Highly recommend. There are upgrades, but reasonable.

Ito ay isang napakagandang karanasan. Humigit-kumulang isang oras na aktibidad sa napakamurang halaga, at napaka-natatangi nito. Ito ay mga bagay na iingatan ko habambuhay, napakaganda ng kinalabasan! Ang mga staff ay napakabait at may kaalaman din.

Ang karanasang ito ay napakasaya at kakaiba! Kami mismo ang pumili ng aming kahoy at gumawa ng aming sariling chopsticks mula simula. Ang mga instruktor ay napakabait at tinulungan kami sa bawat hakbang, kaya hindi mahirap sundin. Gusto ko na maaari naming iuwi ang isang bagay na ginawa namin gamit ang aming sariling mga kamay. Napakakahulugang souvenir mula sa Japan. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

meine Tochter und ich hatten mehr Spaß als gedacht, das Personal war Mega freundlich hilfsbereit und wirklich sympathisch. Mit allen Mitarbeitern konnte man gutes Englisch sprechen . Ich kann es wirklich nur jedem empfehlen, ihr werdet super Erinnerungen schaffen . Gegen einen Aufpreis kann man verschiedene Holzarten wählen ebenso so eine Gravur machen lassen. Einzig sind manche Hobel austauchwürdig . Wir werden es bei unserer nächsten Reise garantiert nochmal machen. Dickes Lob an die Mitarbeiter

This was such a fun activity if you love to work with your hands. I went with my boyfriend and we made beautiful chopsticks with our names engraved onto them. The staff were lovely and very helpful! I definitely recommend that you add it to you Japan Itinerary!
