Welcome to the Koinobori Aquarium!
At the Kazo Future Center in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture—known as the "City of Koinobori"—we are currently hosting the "Koinobori Aquarium." This event transforms the facility's iconic giant glass wall into a fish tank where a wide variety of colorful koinobori (carp streamers) swim gracefully. (Admission free)
The diverse koinobori, including hand-painted and creative designs, represent "harmony in a diverse society" in the modern age.
Looking out from the second floor, with the majestic Tone River flowing in the background and the mountains of the northern Kanto region towering in the distance, you will surely feel a powerful story from the sight of koinobori swimming elegantly in nature.
