Overview

This workshop is unique because it lets you hand-craft your own wooden chopsticks in Kyoto’s historic Gion district, guided by a local artisan using traditional tools. Instead of simply watching a demonstration, you experience the full process yourself—choosing the wood, shaping it by hand, and finishing it into a practical, personal keepsake rooted in everyday Japanese culture.

Activity itinerary

Choose from a variety of beautiful types of wood, each with its own colour, grain, and character. Whether you prefer a lighter or darker tone, or something in between, find the perfect wood to match your taste. Then, select your ideal length; short or long to create chopsticks that truly fit your hand. Once you've made your selections, place your chopsticks on the stand and use a hand plane to carefully carve them into shape. After carving, smooth the surface and edges with sandpaper to bring out the natural beauty and comfort of your chopsticks. Finally, apply a coat of natural oil to protect and enhance the finish, giving them a soft, polished look. As an optional touch, you can have your name engraved in Japanese or your native language, making your chopsticks truly one-of-a-kind.
