Located in Gion, the heart of Kyoto’s sightseeing district, HASHI LAB offers a unique workshop where you can easily create your own one-of-a-kind pair of chopsticks.
Choose your favorite wood, shape it with a hand plane, smooth it with sandpaper, finish it with natural oil, and complete the experience with gift wrapping. Through this hands-on activity, you can enjoy the natural fragrance and warmth of wood while discovering the beauty of chopsticks, an essential part of Japanese daily culture.
Suitable for both children and adults, this experience combines creativity, cultural learning, and the joy of taking home a personalized souvenir. It is a perfect addition to your Kyoto sightseeing itinerary.
Reservations are recommended, but walk-in guests are also welcome. We look forward to welcoming you to a convenient and open workshop space.
