It is very good and intuitive and a good lesson
Very Good I learned how to sharpen a knife blade and how to add the handle. We had a very good guide he helped us through out the lesson. Thank you for great experience
Was very informative and hands on experience. We had a great time. Highly recommended for father and son activity while in kyoto! Also very safe.
Thank you very much for the experience and for teaching us how to sharpen knives on a whetstone. It was great with you guys!
The host was really very nice and open-minded! He taught us a lot, and not just about knife sharpening 😊
Very kind and helpful staff. The options of blade and handle were not as many as in the description (this time). Easy to follow instructions even though it is a lil challenging to get the hang of it. All in all a great experience with great results!
A great experience for learning the basics of sharpening Japanese knives.

Very good experience, making my own knives, the teachers, very dedicated and professional.

Incredible experience with Yuki customizing your own Japanese knife!

We’ve had an amazing time crafting our own knife with Yuki, he’s marvelously guided us through the whole process and now we get to take an amazing memory with us. Thanks for your kindness, really recommended!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad Yuki guided you through every step so beautifully — walking away with a knife you crafted yourself and a great memory is exactly what we hope for 😊 Come back to Arashiyama anytime! 🔪
