Make Your Own Chopsticks in Historic Kamakura

Craft a Pair of Chopsticks Made Just for You Create a one-of-a-kind pair of chopsticks in a historic city with over 1,000 years of tradition. This immersive experience lets you work alongside skilled artisans to shape natural wood into your very own chopsticks. Carefully adjusted to fit your hands down to the millimeter, they offer an exceptional level of comfort and usability. You can even have your name engraved on them. Why not take home a lifelong keepsake that carries the memories of your journey and a place at your dining table?

Once you’ve selected your preferred type of wood, you’ll shape it using a traditional Japanese hand plane (kanna). Afterward, simply refine the shape with sandpaper to create your finished piece. Even beginners and children can enjoy making authentic chopsticks in about an hour. One of the highlights of the experience is feeling the changing texture of the wood with every stroke while learning a traditional craft from skilled artisans. Surrounded by the soothing aroma of natural wood, you’ll create a pair of chopsticks uniquely your own. When you’re finished, you can take your handcrafted chopsticks home the same day.
