After checking ourselves into the Via Inn Hotel in Okayama we all managed to get a good night sleep.
The next day Daisuke picked us up and took us out to his farm.On the way we stopped at his father's coffee shop and classic car showroom-a lot of impessive cars and at last a decent cup of coffee.
From there it was a short ride to the farm-
Spectacular river in front of the farm-
His famous 1500 ton pond-
He used to keep all his jumbo koi in this pond,but now it is mainly used to grow on nisai and sansai and the jumbos are kept in 80 ton ponds-easier to manage.
Koi in 1500 ton-
Jumbo tosai from Spring Auction being netted-now many over 65cm-
Max from Singapore looking at a few of his customers grow ons-
After selecting koi we went through the sansai Showas we bought at the Auction last month-Max and Daisuke looking on-
We selected a few great koi and now are looking forward to Beppu Koi Farm and finally the ZNA Show on Saturday.
