Known for its large-scale yet carefully managed production, Yamasan blends high volume with refined standards, making it a true one-stop farm in the Niigata region.

Spanning approximately 10 acres and featuring more than 50 mud ponds, Yamasan Koi Farm has the infrastructure to support significant growth cycles while maintaining hands-on oversight. The layout of the ponds and rearing facilities allows for efficient development and careful monitoring, ensuring koi are raised in conditions that promote both size and color refinement.

A LEADER IN BUTTERFLY AND METALLIC KOI

Yamasan Koi Farm is especially renowned for its Hirenaga, commonly known as Butterfly koi, as well as Hikarimono metallic varieties. Among its standout offerings is Lemon Hariwake, a striking metallic koi that combines luminous yellow tones with crisp white contrast and flowing fins.

The farm’s Butterfly koi are bred for length, elegance, and strong body lines that complement their extended fins. These koi offer a dramatic visual presence in any pond and are favored by hobbyists who appreciate movement and shimmer in addition to traditional pattern balance.

FAST-GROWING GOSANKE WITH STRONG STRUCTURE

Beyond its metallic and longfin specialties, Yamasan also produces fast-growing Gosanke, including Kohaku, Sanke, and Showa. These koi are developed with attention to body frame, skin quality, and competitive potential, particularly at the tosai and nisai stages.

The farm has built a reputation for producing young koi that show strong early development while retaining the structure necessary for continued growth. This balance makes Yamasan koi appealing to collectors who want both immediate visual impact and long-term potential.
