Nishikigoi Show

The birthplace of Nishikigoi is Nijyumuragou. During the Taisho Period(1912 - 1926), the koi show was held several times. After that, as the koi spread all over the country, people expected to hold a national-scale koi fish show. So the first All Japan Koi show was held in December 1968. Also, as a national event, the All Japan Young Koi Show and the International Junior Koi Show were held afterwards, and many overseas enthusiasts also exhibited many koi. In addition, the regional and county branch units' evaluations were also popular.
