History of the farm

The farm started with 40 ares of land in 1972. The next year, one “Kohaku” and one ” Taisho Sanshoku” spawned. We have exerted ourselves to expand the farming area, and increase production and qualities.

The number of farming areas is now eight green houses, five mud ponds over 1 hectare, three mud ponds over 3 hectares and mud pond for fry.
There are fifteen staffs in Ogata koi farm today.

In the meantime, we have established annual prize winning at the “All Japan Koi show”. One of our best koi is the Grand Champion,
“Benimaiko” of the 21st Show.

We have been providing beautiful traditional Japanese Nishikigoi to the world.

Ogata made koi spread all over the world

We engaged in exporting Nishikigoi in 1980. At that time, the main countries
we exported our koi were Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong and South East Asia in
general. Since 1985, the amount of exported koi has been increasing.

Now, we export our koi not only to South East Asia but also to Europe, America,
and many other countries.

Our farm is offering meeting strongly international in character every year.
