Day 1  Spring Trip Part Two

The Ojiya Park Hotel would be my home for the next few days and with appointments already booked with several breeders.This will be a very exciting few days Koi hunting in Niigata.

It has only been a few weeks since my last visit to Japan and this will become a common occurance , the closing of the shop has given me better opportunities to visit Japan when the breeders contact me with release dates for their koi. My first stop was an appointment at Marudo Koi Farm.

 I will have to work out how to get this home it looked stunning outside of Marudo's Koi house.

First pond was a gosanke mix of Female Jumbo Tosai , the following koi were chosen. These koi have superb qualities all female and priced at £1200 each.
