Description

Create your own Japanese kitchen knife in Arashiyama. Choose your preferred blade and handle, sharpen and finish your knife, then take home your unique creation.
Instead of simply buying a Japanese knife in Kyoto, make one yourself.

Join a hands-on Japanese knife-making workshop in Arashiyama and create a knife that reflects your own style. Start by choosing your preferred blade and handle.

With step-by-step guidance from your instructor, sharpen the blade, fit the handle, and complete the finishing process yourself.

Once your knife is finished, make it even more personal by stamping your own initials onto it.

No previous knife-making or sharpening experience is required. Your instructor will guide you through each step, making the workshop suitable even for complete beginners.

At the end of the experience, the finished Japanese knife is yours to keep.

Rather than bringing home an ordinary souvenir, leave Kyoto with a practical Japanese knife that you chose, worked on, personalized, and finished yourself — a one-of-a-kind reminder of your trip to Japan.

Located in Arashiyama, the approximately 1-hour workshop is easy to combine with sightseeing in one of Kyoto's most popular areas.
