Japan Nishikigoi Expo 2019

Dive into the world of koi

Koi-keeping can be a fulfilling hobby, especially after building your perfect pond oasis. But they’re not just pretty to look at. There is the history of koi in Japan that’s woven into the culture and the hard work over decades that it took koi breeders to develop different varieties. In this Japan Nishikigoi Expo, you’re invited to join us and koi enthusiasts at Southern Turf’s facility to see gorgeous Japanese koi and Tamasaba goldfish, learn about their history, and buy your own “living jewels” for your pond.

See for yourself the beauty of Japanese koi and enjoy this FREE family-friendly event.
