What an amazing experience and activity! Making our own chopsticks from 200 year old bamboo has been the highlight of Kyoto for us! Highly recommend when you want to take home a souvenir. Hosts were really lovely and welcoming as well!
This was a really cool experience! We made chopsticks out of 300+ year old bamboo! Our instructor was the nicest man and we was very knowledgeable. He didn’t speak much English and we didn’t speak any Japanese and we were able to communicate using an app on his phone. I would def recommend this experience to anybody coming to Kyoto! He also has a small shop where he sells products he crafts himself out of bamboo and other materials!
This was my favourite activity in Japan. The instructor was very kind and welcoming. He shared amazing facts about the products, process, and materials. It was a peaceful and meditative afternoon. Could not recommend this more!!!!!
The experience was so interesting and relaxing. The artisan is very kind and he excels at his craft. If you’re around Kyoto, this is definitely something you want to try!
We had an amazing time crafting our own chopsticks with sensei. He told us a lot of very interesting information about chopstick material and the process of making them. And also, gave us many recommendations for Kyoto. A unique experience!
