Meet Our Local Host 

Yumiko Honda is the principal of the Honda Soroban Style Anzan Class school. which was founded in 1937. She says “What people learn in childhood has a great influence on how they live later in life. It is very risky to leave what you are not good at as it is. If you have a lot of things you are good at, your self-esteem will rise and you will be able to improve more and more.” And with this mentality, she teaches kids to adults how to not be afraid of mathematics, but improve yourself to learn this art based on logic.

“Overcoming obstacles can be a great experience of success.” Yumiko Honda.
