The Quality Behind More Than 2,000 Visitors and Consistently High Ratings

1. Bilingual Staff Who Offer More Than Just Instruction

   Beyond teaching how to use the tools, staff with strong English ability and hospitality explain the history of chopsticks, their cultural background, and the spirit of Japanese omotenashi in an easy-to-understand way. Many reviews mention a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and being moved by the staff's attentiveness.

2. Facilities and Operations That Let Up to 44 People Take Part at Once

   Despite being in a prime Asakusa location, the studio has secured a spacious area that can accommodate up to 44 people at the same time without splitting the group. Large groups, such as those on educational trips or incentive tours, can all join the workshop together, without being divided into smaller groups or having to wait.

3. The Satisfaction of Taking Home a One-of-a-Kind Piece of Traditional Craft

   In the chopstick-making experience, visitors use a hand plane to shave their own original chopsticks from high-quality wood, offering a genuine hands-on experience. Because visitors can take home the chopsticks they made themselves, many say it made for the best kind of memory and souvenir.
