People are travelling far and wide to catch a glimpse of the rare beauty in this koi fish pond.
After years of attracting visitors from all over Japan, this quirky display has finally moved on.
Don’t give up, little guy! Not because you can catch them, but because it’s so adorable to watch you try.
This little guy sets a shining example for goldfish everywhere – people could learn a thing or two from it as well.
With lanterns, cocktails and one thousand unusual goldfish, this is the coolest place to hang out in your yukata this summer.
Artist Riusuke Fukahori’s goldfish creations made of resin are so lifelike, they look like they could start swimming right before your eyes! Read More
Despite what many Japanese and Americans think, when we Brits envisage having a cup of tea, it’s usually more “in a giant mug with biscuits for dipping and the TV on” than “cucumber sandwiches and sipping from a china cup.”
If we had access to teabags as delicate and beautifully designed as these Goldfish-shaped teabags from Taiwanese company Charm Villa, though, I think even we Brits might be inclined to switch off the TV and make tea-time chill-out time a bit more often.
