A nice experience, great souvenirs
Wonderful experience! It was an easy sign in with my e-ticket when I got there with my husband and we were able to get started right away. The tools were easy to use after a simple explanation and our guide was a great conversationalist in English. It was nice talking about our trip and experiences while sanding the chopsticks. There were options to upgrade to different types of wood and engrave them if we wanted. One of my best souvenirs!
