Kyoto : Chopsticks Making Workshop with Engraving Option in Gion
Description
Craft Your Own Chopsticks from Raw Wood Begin with simple wooden blanks and transform them into beautiful, functional chopsticks using a traditional kanna (Japanese hand plane). Feel the grain of the wood as you carefully shape each piece, and enjoy a calming, hands-on Japanese craftsmanship experience. Guided, Beginner-Friendly Workshop From rough shaping to a smooth, polished finish, every step is taught clearly and patiently by our instructor. This fully hands-on experience is designed for first-timers—no woodworking experience required. Select from Beautiful Japanese Woods Choose from a curated selection of Japanese woods, each with its own texture, aroma, and natural color. Two wood types are included at no extra cost, with premium woods available as an optional upgrade for those seeking something extra special.

Résolu great activity in Gion Kyoto. Our guide Sai was really awesome, he takes the time to explain each step, if we have any question or trouble he was there to answer it. And now I will enjoy to use my new handmade chopstick. Thank you Sai.

Ahmed was very patient and helpful to us as we made chopsticks. Very friendly and welcoming environment for a fun souvenir :)
Very nice experience and the guide explains the procedure very well. Our guide Sai helped me when I was struggling. Important information is that only 2 types of wood are included, you have to pay extra for better wood
