Tokyo: Japanese Knife Craft Workshop (Sharpening)
Title as written by Traveling Tokyo
Before you book
- 1 hour, limited to 10 people, run by Traveling Tokyo. The listing gives the location only as Tokyo; the meeting point comes with the booking.
- Included: the knife-crafting workshop, instruction on Japanese knife craft and care, an overview of materials and tools, and English/Japanese bilingual staff. Wheelchair accessible.
- This is a sharpening and finishing workshop; the blade is not forged. Only four reviews so far. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
- Carrying the knife: keep it boxed and wrapped and pack it in checked luggage for your flight, never in your cabin bag; on Japanese trains a knife must be wrapped and inside a bag.
About This Experience
