Our autumn journey is built for those who are serious about koi. This is prime harvest season, when mud ponds across Japan are drained and the year’s very best koi are brought in, bowl by bowl.

What to Expect

We begin in major hubs such as Tokyo or Ogata and travel across Japan, heading to the southern regions and then into the mountains of Niigata – the birthplace of nishikigoi.

You’ll visit world-renowned breeders, walk their farms, and see harvests as they happen.


All-Inclusive Convenience
For this trip, every practical detail is taken care of for you:
International flights (organised for you)
Bullet trains and internal transfers
Taxis, hire cars, and local travel
Hotels along the route

Most meals arranged so you can focus on koi, not logistics
You secure your place, and we handle the rest.


Designed for Serious Buyers

This trip is aimed at collectors ready to purchase at harvest time. You’ll have access to freshly harvested koi at their very best, with the guidance, translation, and negotiating expertise of Tony and the team.

Expect to see high-grade koi, rare varieties, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Indicative Pricing
The autumn tour is a premium, all-inclusive experience, with pricing typically starting from around £4,000 per person (final costs are confirmed closer to each departure).
