Kyoto: Arashiyama Chopstick Making Workshop Standard Chopstick Making

Create your own wooden chopsticks in a hands-on workshop in Kyoto’s Arashiyama district. Learn about the cultural significance of chopsticks in Japan and take home a unique souvenir.
You can choose your preferred wood from a variety of beautiful options, each with its own unique aroma, color, and grain. From light tones to deeper, more refined shades, you’re sure to find one that suits your taste. We also offer premium wood selections as an optional upgrade.

Once you’ve chosen your wood, place it on the dedicated stand and carefully shape it using a hand plane. This process allows you to feel the natural warmth and texture of the wood, creating a calming and satisfying experience. After carving, use sandpaper to smooth the surface and edges, bringing out both the beauty and comfort of your chopsticks.

For the finishing touch, apply a coat of natural oil to protect the wood and give it a soft, elegant sheen. As an optional feature, you can add a personalized engraving to make your chopsticks truly one of a kind. You may carve your name in Japanese kanji or engrave the type of wood as a special memory of your experience in Japan. Your finished chopsticks can be used right away or given as a thoughtful, heartfelt gift.

Our English-speaking staff are always here to support you, so even beginners can feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience. Take home not just a souvenir, but a meaningful memory of Japan.
