    "Goldfish, one of Yamatokoriyama's specialty products, are believed to have been first cultivated in the area at the end of the Edo period by then- Koriyama Domain retainer Sato Sanzaemon. This shop crammed with Koriyama goldfish-themed accessories and knickknacks, items featuring designs inspired by the Buddhist temples of Koriyama, and other souvenirs and mementos. There's also a popular adjoining ""kingyo sukui"" goldfish scooping area where you can try this popular traditional game which involves scooping up real live goldfish using a precarious, disintegrating paper scoop."

The shop is located in Tsunofuri Town, Nara City, Nara Prefecture.

In addition to selling Nara Uchiwa and Nara Sensu folding fans, the shop also holds reservation only classes in which participants can try making their own Nara Uchiwa.

Nara Areas

around-area-map

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.
