You can experience assembling your own original abacus. We are also preparing a class experience where you can learn about Japanese culture through the completed abacus. The class is a valuable experience where you can actually take part in classes attended by local children. Please rest assured that the instructor will be teaching in English. After the experience, you can take home your abacus and a certificate in Japanese.
