Features

  • The hands-on chopsticks-making workshop is the core of your visit, giving you time to plane, shape, and refine your own pair of wooden chopsticks under step-by-step guidance from an expert guide.
  • You can choose from more than 10 types of wood, with 3 types free to use, so each person selects a material that suits their preferred look and feel before starting to craft.
  • A dedicated cultural insights session is included, where your professional guide explains the role of chopsticks in Japanese daily life and etiquette, connecting each crafting step to local traditions.
  • All tools and materials are provided at Chopsticks Studio Ginza, and English-speaking staff are available on site, so you can focus on learning techniques and asking questions without any language barrier.
  • During the session you create your own original chopsticks from raw wood to finished shape, then add final touches so they become personalized chopsticks to take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
  • At the end of the workshop, you take home your personalized chopsticks, completed on site, as a practical reminder of your time in Tokyo and of the cultural insights segment that accompanied the crafting process.
