Goldfish Exhibition Area, Katsushika City

Flow of the course

About this spot

A facility exhibiting goldfish in one corner of Mizumoto Park (水元公園). The Tokyo Metropolitan Fisheries Experiment Station once stood on this site, and the goldfish exhibit continues as a trace of it. A different variety swims in each tank, letting you compare goldfish of different shapes and colors such as wakin, ranchu and demekin. It is an outdoor exhibit so you cannot linger long, but it is perfect for setting up the flow of a day about water creatures before the water play. You can walk through the park to the Fountain Plaza.

Tips

Opening hours and periods may be limited, so checking in advance is safest. Agree beforehand not to put hands into the tanks. Being outdoors, the sunlight is strong and it is not suited to long stays. The park is large, so checking the route to the Fountain Plaza on the park map keeps you from getting lost.

Best time to visit

About 30 minutes. Fitting it into the 12:00 to 13:00 fountain pause wastes no time
