(as of 2025)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In addition to this, programs <strong>such as abacus, calligraphy, color education, and English<\/strong> are often available within the basic fee, with minimal additional charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[2] How does this compare with other private school children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th> Name of school<\/th><th> Monthly Fee (5 days\/week)<\/th><th> Characteristics<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td> Company A (major metropolitan area)<\/td><td> 88,000 - 120,000 yen<\/td><td> Full range of lessons \/ Prime location in Tokyo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Company B (Near Tsuzuki Ward)<\/td><td> 70,000-95,000 yen<\/td><td> English-speaking school children \/ transportation available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td> Craftsman<\/td><td> From 44,000 yen<\/td><td> STEAM education \/ 3D printer \/ community-based<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> \u25b6\ufe0e Craftsman is <strong>about 40-50% of the price of nearby private school children<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[3] Why are the prices so low?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Operational design with low rent and facility costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Craftsman is not located in a luxurious commercial facility, but rather <strong>operates out of a local building<\/strong>.<br> This allows us to concentrate on education without wasting money on interior design and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> 2) Concentrating on essential education, advertising costs are minimal.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> While large companies spend millions on advertising and publicity, Craftsman's publicity is steady, centered on <strong>word-of-mouth, SNS, and local media<\/strong>.<br> The company uses the advertising budget to invest in the childcare environment, teaching materials, and instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Flat management system with the representative himself onsite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> The leadership of the organization is onsite to ensure both <strong>efficiency in personnel costs and maintenance of education quality<\/strong>.<br> While eliminating wasteful middle management costs, the voices of the frontlines are directly reflected in management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[4] Does low price = low quality? No, the opposite is true.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather, Craftsman is,<br> \u2705 <strong>STEAM education including 3D printers<\/strong><br> \u2705 <strong>Abacus, calligraphy, English, and Iroiku<\/strong><br> \u2705 <strong>Programs designed to develop non-cognitive skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and a diverse curriculum designed to be experienced at no additional cost.<br> The price is the result of focusing on what is truly necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[5] Please don't choose Craftsman based on price alone. However, at Craftsman, we can offer both price and quality.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> We are serious about providing high quality school children to as many families as possible.<br> That's why we <strong>offer after-school programs with high educational value at affordable prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you have any doubts about our <strong>services, we would like to invite you to come and visit us<\/strong>.<br> Craftsman has an \"atmosphere\" that cannot be conveyed by a price list alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/book.squareup.com\/appointments\/jr948sz0qya8r4\/location\/L0CV4GQCX6WJ3\/services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-1024x345.webp\" alt=\"\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30cf\u3099\u30ca\u30fc (2500 x 843 px)\" class=\"wp-image-5064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-1024x345.webp 1024w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-300x101.webp 300w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-768x259.webp 768w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-1536x518.webp 1536w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/\u4f53\u9a13\u4e88\u7d04\u30d0\u30ca\u30fc-2500-x-843-px-2048x691.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lin.ee\/AtonfOI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3-1024x341.png\" alt=\"LINE\u8ffd\u52a0\" class=\"wp-image-2569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/other\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-1-1024x341.png\" alt=\"\u304a\u554f\u3044\u5408\u308f\u305b\" class=\"wp-image-2570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-1-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-1-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-1-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/craftsmanafterschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Craftsman is <strong>40-60% less expensive than other private after-school.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> The price is kept low because of \"rational\" and \"honest\" management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> The educational content is rather rich;
