Surprisingly therapeutic and a great way to create your own souvenir from Tokyo

Excellent experience with very friendly staff who were very patient with us and speak great English. Lots of options to choose from. You do need to pay more for special wood types and for engraving which we all did as we thought it was worth it. It is very therapeutic to hand make your own chopsticks! 5 stars

amazing time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience at Chopsticks! The workshop was fun, interactive, and something truly unique to do while visiting Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly patient, kind, and made the entire process easy to follow, even for beginners. Creating our own personalized chopsticks was such a special souvenir and one of the highlights of our trip. The attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel very welcome. We especially loved learning about the cultural significance behind the craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a memorable, hands-on experience in Tokyo, I highly recommend this workshop for families, couples, and anyone wanting to take home something meaningful from Japan. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! If you’d like, I can also make it sound more personal by mentioning your family and your teenage boys enjoying the experience.

Simon is the best!!

If you like to drink than this is the tour for you! Simon was an absolute gem from start to finish and this tour wouldn’t have been nearly as great without someone as knowledgeable as him! He gave great recommendations for the sake, the food, and took care of everything so we just needed to show up and drink! Make sure to take that tumeric drink he offers you at the beginning because it for sure helped all of us!! Cannot sing enough praises for this tour and for Simon!!

Manga Lesson with a Professional Japanese Manga Artist in Nakano

Mihir_G, Apr 2026

A really interesting and...

A really interesting and fun class with Yazawa-sensei! She is very knowledgeable and explained a lot of cool things about how and why manga is drawn using particular techniques. There are some basic foundational lessons + applications of body mechanics that make even a complex artwork seem easy! At the end of the lesson, I left with a fantastic drawing souvenir - which turned out far better than I expected - a testament to the excellent teachings of Yazawa-sensei! For me, this was probably my favourite activity in Tokyo! If you are a fan of anime and manga, I'm confident you will feel the same way after a manga drawing lesson!

Akihabara Anime & Game Adventure Walking Tour (Group or Private)

Vanessa_H, Dec 2025

Amazing Introduction to Akihabara!

We had a fantastic time on our Akihabara tour with Naoki. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful (especially with our two kids, one of whom is autistic) and he really tailored the experience to their interests rather than doing a generic walk-through. What stood out most was how much care he took with our food allergies. He gave us practical, realistic advice about eating in Japan and even made us handwritten allergy cards in Japanese, which was far beyond what we expected and will be very helpful for the rest of our time here. He also helped us navigate the chaos of Akihabara (which is a lot) making it a fun experience - and giving us the tools we will need to come back later to finish our shopping - my son is also excited to try out the cat cafe he pointed out! Thank you, Naoki! Highly recommend this tour, especially for families or anyone feeling a bit intimidated by Akihabara.

Private Tokyo Cooking Class with Emi: Cook 3 Japanese Home Dishes

Natalia_T, Dec 2025

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend it!

I had an excellent experience with Emi's cooking lesson. From the first moment, her communication was excellent, her instructions to find the studio were spot-on, and her poise, personality and knowledge were amazing. I learnt how to cook three recipes, some tricks and alternative ingredients available in my country and we chatted over a shot of sake. Time flew, because her personality is magnetic. Do not skip this activity! It will be the highlight of your time in Tokyo!

Best cooking class!

This is the second cooking class we have taken on our current Japan trip and this one is the ONE! We learned so much and had fun at this class. The food was so good. Our friends did the first class with us and not this one and we are so sad they missed this experience. I can not recommend this class enough!

Loved!

Booked the night before and was easy and quick to find in Asakusa area. The host Hiya was very friendly and explained the history of matcha. We also learned how to spot high quality powder. We made it with traditional tools and then she helped us take a family photo. We got to enjoy traditional matcha with sweets which made for a great treat.
