This was an incredible experience for myself, my husband, and our two kids (ages 6 and 4). The staff were so helpful and helped our kids with the process while us adults were able to work on ours. 10/10 will recommend to anyone traveling to Osaka! Perfectly located in the Dotonburi area, we walked right over to the Don Quixote Ferris wheel afterwards.

We had a fun time with this very inexpensive activity. It easy to find and our instructor did a wonderful job teaching us. They also have a sushi making class that looks like a great experience.

    Quick, cheap and fun

    Kristyn_C, Aug 2026
    This was fun and quick. The place itself is a bit hard to find but once there you are well directed. For the price, this is a no brainer-it’s definitely worth it.

    Fun

    Kristopher_H, Aug 2026
    This was one of the most unique experiences we had during our trip to Japan! Making our own chopsticks was fun, relaxing, and something our whole family could enjoy together. The instructors were incredibly patient, friendly, and made the process easy to follow, even for beginners. We loved learning about the craftsmanship and being able to create a personalized souvenir that we'll actually use for years to come. It was much more meaningful than buying something from a gift shop. If you're visiting Japan and looking for a hands-on cultural experience that's fun for both adults and kids, I highly recommend this class. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Unique fun experience

    Helen_P, Apr 2026
    Great fun. Made some chopsticks to take home. The tutor was a lovely lady, helpful and patient. We had a choice of 4 different woods, first one included in price the others cost extra. In our class were two young people and they chose hard woods and struggled. Perhaps people under a certain age should not be given a choice.

    Great chopstick making experience

    Wallace_T, Apr 2026
    This was a wonderful hands-on education experience. At the end, we use an ink pen to add our own personal touch to the chopsticks, and then we soaked them on oil. We also got a free drink in the beginning. So much fun!

    The class was so fun. The instructor (Sho #1) was fantastic. He was so fun and considerate. He checked in with us for every step. Be prepared for a little bit of arm workout 💪.

    Must-Do Cultural Experience in Tokyo!

    M_S, Apr 2026
    I had an amazing time at Chopstick Making Japan in Asakusa. It was such a unique and memorable cultural experience during my trip to Tokyo. The staff were incredibly friendly and explained every step clearly in English, so even beginners could enjoy it without any worries. Making my own chopsticks from beautiful Japanese wood was surprisingly fun and satisfying. I loved shaping, sanding, and finishing something that I can actually use at home. It felt special to create a practical souvenir with my own hands. The workshop had a warm and relaxing atmosphere, and learning about Japanese craftsmanship made the experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Japan, especially if you want something more personal than ordinary sightseeing.
