Yagenji Koi Farm
Yagenji Koi Farm is run by brothers Daisuke and Toshinori Ishihara, after the passing of their father, Mr. Yaiichi Ishihara.
Located on the mountain slopes of the famous Yamakoshi Village, this Koi Farm boasts both mud ponds and climate controlled fish houses for overwintering their Koi.
Both of the Ishihara brothers run the Koi Farm together, which is an unusual case as traditionally the business would be passed to the elder brother (Daisuke). They both have valuable expertise and knowledge and run the farm like a well oiled machine.
Daisuke is a trained chef, and came back to the Koi Farm when business started becoming very busy. He spent time at Momotaro Fish Farm to learn the trade, returning to his father’s side once he had gained experience.
Toshinori (Tokko) stayed with his Father to help run the Koi Farm, leaving at 18 years old so that he could learn new techniques and ideas at a Koi Farm in Hiroshima – Sakai Fish Farm.
