This chopsticks-making workshop in Tokyo takes place in Ginza and focuses on traditional woodworking techniques. It’s a short, hands-on activity designed to create a practical and personal souvenir.

You start by choosing your chopsticks from a selection of 26 types of wood and different lengths. Each wood has its own texture and appearance, allowing you to customize the final result.

Using a hand plane, you shape the chopsticks yourself, then smooth the edges with sandpaper. The process is guided step by step, making it accessible even without prior experience. Once the shape is finished, you apply oil to protect the wood and complete the pair.

An optional engraving allows you to add your name or a short text. The workshop is run by a woodworking company, with attention given to material quality and finishing.

By the end, you leave with a pair of chopsticks you made yourself, designed to be used daily and kept as a long-term souvenir from Tokyo.
