Nara Pref. Yamatokoriyamashi Nikichou 107

A museum dedicated to goldfish located in Yamatokoriyama, Nara, a city famous for producing goldfish. Goldfish are said to have been brought to Yamatokoriyama by Yanagisawa Yoshisato, who moved here to be the lord of the area during the Edo period, and it is believed that the techniques required for their cultivation were passed from samurai to farmers as a side business. The museum presents tools used in goldfish cultivation, items relating to folk customs, and goldfish-themed ukiyoe woodblock prints and ancient books. The museum’s goldfish aquariums, containing everything from ancestor varieties to high class and rare breeds, are a must-see.

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
