Goldfish Exhibition 葛飾区金魚展示場

A goldfish paradise

You may have heard of koi carp beauty contests, but did you know goldfish are also highly prized in Japan? Goldfish Exhibition in Mizumoto, a neighborhood in eastern Tokyo, is one of the few places in the city where large-scale commercial goldfish breeding takes place. It carries up to 1,000 goldfish of an impressive 24 (out of the world's 300) species, including the so-called Edo Akane and Edo Nishiki varieties.
