Tomodachi Club to visit Koi Farm

Please join Japan America Society of Minnesota’s Tomodachi Club on Sunday, June 22, starting at noon, for a tour at 12:15 p.m., and picnic to follow at 1:30 p.m., at Koi Acres, 11100 240th Street, Scandia, MN 55073.

Get together with family and friends while learning about the beautiful Koi (carp) of Japan. Koi Acres, just 45 minutes outside of the Twin Cities in Scandia, has been breeding and selling Koi for over a decade, and has trong connections with Niigata Prefecture, the heart of Japan’s Koi breeding culture.

Starting when the Koi Tour ends, we plan on gathering for a picnic. There are a limited number of tables available, so please bring a sheet or blanket to have a picnic on the ground “hanami” style.

This will be a great opportunity to learn more about Koi, one of Japan’s most beautiful exports. Please join the picnic and we look forward to seeing you at the event.

The event is free to JASM members, $5 for non-members, and $10 for families.
