About Juzu Bracelet Making

A juzu is a Buddhist prayer bracelet held in hand when venerating the Buddha. In our juzu-making experience, you can freely combine natural stone and wood beads to create your own one-of-a-kind juzu bracelet.

Our staff will guide you carefully through each step, so anyone can make one with ease. Your finished juzu will be blessed by a priest and you can take it home the same day as an amulet.
