What to expect

Set in a historic streetscape, we offer a workshop where you can casually create a one-of-a-kind pair of chopsticks.
You choose your preferred wood, shape it with a plane, smooth it with sandpaper, finish it with oil, and wrap it to take home. While enjoying the scent and warmth of the wood, you can rediscover the charm of chopsticks as part of everyday Japanese culture.

Easy and enjoyable for both children and adults, the experience combines accessibility with the joy of taking home a tangible memory. As a fresh hands-on cultural activity, it makes a perfect highlight for a visit to Nara. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. We look forward to seeing you in your open, welcoming space with convenient access.
