Original Chopstick-Making Experience Create your own pair of chopsticks from start to finish. Shape the wood, smooth it with sandpaper, and finish with natural oil for a beautiful shine. The chopsticks you make are yours to take home—a unique souvenir and a lasting memory of your time in Japan. About Chopsticks and Japan Chopsticks are an important part of Japanese food culture. They have been used in Japan for more than 2,000 years. Japanese chopsticks are usually made of wood and have a thin, pointed tip, which makes it easy to pick up small pieces of food. In Japan, people often give chopsticks as gifts because they represent good relationships and connection between people. We hope this chopstick-making experience becomes a wonderful memory for you！

Highly recommended!
We thought it was a great experience. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, they explained it well and helped when something did not go quite perfectly. I can only recommend it because it is a lot of fun.

Beautiful handmade souvenirs
From the moment I made our reservation, the communication with the instructor was fast and reliable giving me answers to any concerns or questions. Such responses were greatly appreciated since we were unfamiliar with Sapporo. Wonderfully, it was a short walk from our hotel in Susukino. The workshop where the class was held was easy to find especially since the instructor waited outside the building with a clear sign. The worship area was easily accessible by elevator. Erica and Hina clearly and patiently instructed us in English with constant attention. The class was organized and all supplies were provided. There was a varied range of woods with concise explanations of each type for our selection. Guidance throughout the process is patient, friendly and supportive. They even provided a variety of decorations and packaging styles which enhanced our handmade chopsticks. It was truly an enjoyable hour or more with a beautiful and practical souvenir as a result of our own work. We emphatically recommend this workshop while in Sapporo. Arigato, Erica and Hina!

Chopsticks Making
Fun experience with great guide. About 1.0-1.5 hours to go through all the stages. Would recommend.

Excellent Hands-on Experience!
Each of our family members thoroughly enjoyed making our chopsticks. From selecting the wood to shaving and sanding, we were engaged and never rushed to finish. We were given expert guidance from the instructor who learned from her grandparents. It's an authentic experience. We walked to their studio using Google Maps. Taxi's are plentiful if you prefer. We highly recommend this tour for people that enjoy hands-on, creative experiences.

So glad we did this
We truly enjoyed making our own chopsticks. From choosing different types of wood to the style and shape of our chopsticks, we had a wonderful time with the whole creative process- and time went by so quickly! It does take some elbow grease, esp depending on what wood you choose, but no woodwork experience required otherwise. Will definitely do this one again!

Fun!
Making chop sticks with your own hand touched uniqueness is fun for the whole family! The guides were friendly and helpful!
