Overview
  • Come with us to Yamato-Koriyama to visit its old town and learn more about Japanese goldfish!
  • We start the day with the castle of Koriyama (12th century), feudal military vestige of the city. We then walk around the city. Traditional houses and small streams welcome us and offer us a glimpse of the Edo period (16th-19th century).
  • We can have an indigo dyeing experience in Hakomotakan Konya. This shop teaches us ancestral know-how. We can then try our luck at goldfish fishing, a traditional Japanese summer activity, in Kochikuya. Here we can practice all year round! Finally, we visit the Goldfish Museum. We are learning more about the unique culture of these fish in the city.
  • After this day, you will learn more about Japanese history and goldfish, part of Japanese culture. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
What to expect

This castle was built in the 12th century. At that time, it was a stronghold of Nara and its region. Today, its ruins remain a popular tourist spot. Visitors come especially for their garden and cherry blossoms in April!
