Japan Facility
Deron Simons had surpassed the milestone of over one hundred visits to Japan and after many years visiting breeders farms he really wanted to be able buy and grow his own Koi. Not only for the benefit of his clients, but also to showcase the quality of Koi that he selects. Koi with true potential, not merely just Koi that are bought and sold.
Establishing his own facility in Japan was something that Deron felt he needed to do, to enable him to use his ability to select high class Koi and then grow them in the mountain waters of Niigata. With these Koi then being made available to clients once they had started showing signs of fulfilling their potential.

After a long search the Select Nishikigoi Niigata facility was finally established. The fish house itself is located in the birthplace of Nishikigoi, where it all began all those decades ago, Yamakoshi Village.

- A fish house is only part of the project, mud ponds were needed to facilitate the growing of the Koi that Deron selected, after a lot of discussions a valley containing seven mud ponds was secured in nearby Uonuma. A stunning place where clients’ Koi can be grown and they can even join in to harvest their purchases. The results for Koi in these ponds has been excellent and many Koi have attained tremendous growth and also developed all the beautiful characteristics that Koi grown in this region are world famous for!
