Traditioneller Japanischer Messerschärfekurs in Kyoto EN OK

This class was fantastic! The instructors were very patient and explained the techniques clearly in English. It was so satisfying to see my knife become sharp again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Honestly, when I first heard "knife sharpening," I wasn't sure what to expect. But once I actually tried it — wow. The feeling of sliding the blade across the whetstone, watching the edge slowly come back to life — I couldn't help but let out an audible "whoa." The instructor was amazing at teaching, and even someone as clumsy as me managed to sharpen a knife properly by the end. Visiting temples and shrines in Kyoto is wonderful, but there's something about creating something with your own hands that stays with you in a completely different way. Thank you, FUJI JAPAN!

I think that the experience was really fun and interesting. The staff was able to communicate really well in English. I would absolutely recommend it if you have a free time in your schedule.

I visited here because I love Japanese culture and wanted a more special experience while sightseeing with my family. Clement was very kind and explained everything carefully, which made us feel very comfortable. He didn’t just show us how to sharpen knives—he also shared knowledge about the materials and where the blades are produced, which was really interesting. I highly recommend visiting if you love Japanese knives, or if you’re interested but still unsure about buying one. The space was also very relaxing, with a pleasant incense fragrance in the air. My whole family was very satisfied, and we will definitely come back again. Thank you, Clement!

It was a knife sharpening experience that you don’t usually get the chance to learn about. From the basics to more advanced techniques, I was taught many things, and it was a truly enjoyable time experiencing the satisfaction of bringing a knife back to sharpness.
