The museum displays over 5,000 live goldfish of around 100 varieties, making it one of the largest goldfish art installations in Japan.
Its entrance features a lantern bridge inspired by the Kasuga-Taisha shrine, setting a shrine-like, tranquil tone from the start.
The Origamirium centerpiece is a giant bowl shaped like origami, filled with both real and paper goldfish, and is the museum’s most popular photo spot.
