Koriyama Goldfish Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum
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.

  • 観賞だけでなく購入できる

    金魚養殖の業者の「やまと錦魚園」がやっている無料の資料館で、見るだけでなく、金魚を飼うことができる。30個ほどの水槽にそれぞれ珍しい金魚が観賞用に展示されている。それ以外に様々な大きさのたくさんの水槽に、何万円もするものなども売られていて、自由に見ることができる。
  • 見ているだけで楽しい。

    190503来訪。ほんとたくさんの金魚が泳いでます。見ているだけで楽しい。きんぎょの水槽をきれいにするのは大変そう。もっと楽しく見れたり、写真が取りやすいと、良いと思う。
  • 古文書のコレクションは凄い

    金魚の飼育などに関する和綴じの古い古文書が沢山展示されているが、説明が少ないのでありがたみがよく分からなかった。
