Yamatokoriyama
About
Come with us to Yamato-Koriyama to visit its old town on foot and by public transport and learn more about Japanese goldfish!
We start with the castle of Koriyama, 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, 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.

Itinerary
1
Koriyama Castle
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!

Yamatokoriyama
The city is simple and quiet, you can feel the history of Japan. The atmosphere changes depending on the street where you are, streets with old traditional Japanese houses, street in which runs a small stream, etc. In the 16th century, Hidenaga Toyotomi, master of the place, established the sharing between citizens. He invited several artisans to come and settle in Yamato-Koriyama and then grouped them according to their professions. I'll give you all the references.

Hakomotokan Konya
If you go to Japan in summer, you will see a lot of people in yukatas (light kimonos) at festivals having fun fishing goldfish (kingyo sukui). This is very representative of summer Japan and it is to be done at least once when visiting this country. It is possible to practice this fishing year round at the “Kochikuya” shop in Yamato-Koriyama.

Koriyama Goldfish Museum
This building is administered by the breeders’ association “Yamato Kingyoen” (literally “the gold-colored fish fields of Yamato”). Masaji Shimata, the founder of the association, had the building built with his own money. He wanted to popularize the history and culture of these goldfish. So, this is an opportunity for us to visit this place.
