Top Tokyo Craft Classes

We loved this experience! It was great fun making our own chopsticks. The team provided excellent instruction and support and we were all happy with our finished product. This was one of the best group activities we attended in Tokyo. We highly recommend this experience to any fun loving family or friendship group.

Kamila was amazing! She walked us through the entire process every step of the way and was super friendly. She seemed very attentive to making sure that we had a good finished product, and stopped to check our work at each step. I also greatly appreciate how transparent she was about anything that would cost extra at every step. She always confirmed with us multiple times to make sure that we knew when we would be up-charged for something. She was very personable, friendly and conversational, and we had an overall great experience! Would highly recommend for doing with couples or families traveling looking for a memorable, personal keepsake from your trip. One thing worth noting is that — while they have a number of coins that are available for free — if you would like a Japanese coin (which I assume is likely, since you’re in Japan after all) there will be an up-charge of as little as ¥2500 all the way up to ¥8000 depending on the coin you want. Overall, an exceptional experience, and thank you very much to Kamila for the help and guidance!

This was an excellent activity and I highly recommend it! They thought of everything starting with sending not just instructions, but a very clear video on how to find their location. As a foreigner, I find the Japanese addresses challenging, and this was super helpful. On arrival, we were provided with traditional Japanese jackets to protect our clothes. There was also water and a snack available. First the staff were introduced with a brief bio and then a little history and background was presented which I found very informative. We each selected the type of knife we wanted to work on (there was a reasonable additional fee for upgraded knife), and after clear instructions we got to work. The staff came around frequently to check our technique and progress. Ru and Zac were the enthusiastic and encouraging in their feedback. After we achieved the desired sharpness (now knowing what to look for), we moved on to customizing the wood handle. I’ve never used a wood burning tool before, but it was just like using a pen; super easy. My one suggestion for this portion of the class would be to offer a list of suggested options for what to engrave, for people like me who have trouble deciding. At the end of class, there is an option to purchase one of two sharpening kits to take home. We had a little hiccup with my purchase, but they went the extra mile to make sure I was a happy customer in the end. Absolutely one of my favorite activities while we were in Tokyo, and I have a lasting souvenir, and a new skill to remind me of this wonderful experience!
