Chopsticks (hashi ็ฎธ) are central to Japanese dining. Disposable waribashi in restaurants; lacquered ones at home. But handcrafted chopsticks from a workshop? Those are rare โ and they carry meaning.
This Ginza workshop teaches you traditional woodcraft techniques. You'll work with hinoki (cypress), magnolia or similar wood, sand and shape a pair of chopsticks from rough blanks. No power tools required โ just patience and guidance from an expert.
Typical flow:
Families with kids (roughly 8+), couples, solo travelers. No prior craft experience needed. The pace is relaxed; instructors speak some English.
Ginza Station (้ๅบง) โ exits for the workshop vary by venue. Confirm exact meeting point when you book. Most venues are 5โ10 minutes on foot.
Workshops typically offer one main package: materials, instruction, and your finished chopsticks included. Prices on GetYourGuide start around ยฅ5,500 per person. Check the official listing for current rates and any family or group discounts.
