About Chopsticks and Japan
Chopsticks are an important part of Japanese food culture. They have been used in Japan for more than 2,000 years. Japanese chopsticks are usually made of wood and have a thin, pointed tip, which makes it easy to pick up small pieces of food.
In Japan, people often give chopsticks as gifts because they represent good relationships and connection between people.
We hope this chopstick-making experience becomes a wonderful memory for you！

5.00Hubby and I had a wonderful time learning to make chopsticks with Erika! It was such a neat experience, and we now have very unique souvenirs to remember our trip by. Erika is very friendly and helpful, especially after I picked an insanely hardwood to create my chopsticks with. I highly recommend this unique and fun experience!

5.00This experience was a lot of fun! We were able to customize everything and was eye opening to how chopsticks are made. I would love to try the other experiences she has. Also the instructor was very kind and accommodating. The studio entrance is hard to find, but the instructor came down to greet us!

5.00This is a lovely experience with my spouse. We left our children at the hotel nearby but I think they would have enjoyed the experience. I left with my hands a little sore as having picked a wood that required some force to shape. From shaping, to sanding, and packaging it was a fun experience! Something that is unique and will capture a great memory from Japan.
One of the most relaxing,...
