Vollständige Beschreibung

Arashiyama fuellt sich. Der Bambushain, die Bruecke und Tenryu-ji verbrauchen den groessten Teil eines Vormittags und den groessten Teil der Menge, und am frueuhen Nachmittag suchen viele Besucher nach etwas zu tun, das kein Anstehen ist. Dieser Workshop ist eine gute Antwort, und bei diesem Preis ist es nahe an der guenstigsten praktischen Stunde in Kyoto.

Sie beginnen damit, Holz zu waehlen. Drei Sorten sind enthalten und mehr als zehn sind verfuegbar, jede mit unterschiedlicher Maserung, Farbe und Geruch, die helleren Hoelzer sind weicher unter dem Hobel, die dunkleren Premium-Sorten halten eine Schneide besser und kosten einen Aufpreis. Ihr Rohling kommt auf einen Staender und Sie formen ihn mit einem Handhobel, was der Teil ist, der die Menschen ueberrascht: das Werkzeug macht die Arbeit, wenn Ihr Winkel richtig ist, und ihn falsch zu machen erzeugt ein sofortiges, offensichtliches Ergebnis. Schleifpapier folgt, dann eine Schicht natuerliches Oel, das die Maserung hervorbringt und versiegelt.

Gravur ist verfuegbar, wenn Sie Ihren Namen in Kanji oder die Holzsorte auf dem fertigen Paar markiert haben wollen. Das Ganze dauert eine Stunde, alles wird gestellt, und das Personal arbeitet durchgehend auf Englisch. Es wird keine Fertigkeit vorausgesetzt und nichts ist scharf genug, um sich bei aelteren Kindern Sorgen zu machen.

Der Workshop befindet sich im zweiten Stock eines Gebaeudes in Sagatenryuji Susukinobabacho, die Treppe hinauf links vom Eingang, ein paar Minuten vom Tempel und Hain entfernt. Das Personal gibt auch wirklich nuetzliche Tipps fuer den Rest von Arashiyama, welche Pfade sich ausduennen, wo der Eingang zum Affenpark tatsaechlich ist, was sich lohnt, bevor Sie wieder losziehen.

Wenn Sie lieber Essstaebchen in Nara fertigen moechten, fuehren wir dort einen separaten Workshop; dieser ist die Kyoto-Option und die beiden sind nicht verbunden.

Got caught by the rain in Arashiyama, so we ducked into this chopstick-making workshop — and it turned out to be the highlight of our day! Warm, calm, and totally hands-on. Our friendly host Utako walked us through every step, and even the kids got right into shaping and smoothing their own chopsticks. They wrapped them up beautifully too, so we've got a little souvenir that actually reminds us of the fun (not just the downpour!). Perfect way to turn a rainy day around. Highly recommend!!!!

Great experience overall. The instructors did a great job. They were very friendly and helpful. We left with a beautiful pair of chopsticks. The only downside I found was that the all the extras (different wood selection, engraving) were really overpriced.

It was also great to be able to enjoy a one-hour workshop while sightseeing in Arashiyama. Making something myself that I can keep as a souvenir and a special memory of my trip made the experience even more meaningful. I would definitely recommend it!

The price does not cover premium wood selections beyond the three included types, personalised engraving, food and drinks and transport to the workshop. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Japan Guide Stars. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
