Make your own soroban, the only one in the world
The city of Ono is known throughout Japan as the region where abacuses are made thanks to the invention of the "Banshu soroban" abacus there. This model is easy to use and beautiful, making it a popular traditional crafting product. At Soroban Village, quests can experience making their own original and unique abacus using combinations of your choice of color and material from 11 colors of beads and 5 materials for each of the upper and lower frames, inner frame and rods.
