A message for Kyla

My mum and dad will confirm that chopsticks are the main eating utensils here in Japan. Most restaurants will not have any knives/forks. So you need to be able to eat using chopsticks before you get here, or starve for 10 days.

I suggest practicing in the weeks between now and when you get here. Try eating a small plate of peanuts using chopsticks. If you can do that, you will be able to eat in Japan.
