In Aomori, there is a lantern called “Goldfish Neputa” that is displayed all over the city during the summer festival. It is said that this is derived from the goldfish called Tsugaru Nishiki, which was once kept by the Tsugaru clan only by the feudal lords, and is said to have been made by people longing for it. It has been. Inspired by the goldfish Neputa, Aomoriya devised an event where you can feel the coolness of the hot summer with the excitement of the summer festival atmosphere.

＞About Goldfish Neputa

Introducing a new stall with a large goldfish Neputa on the roof. Participants scoop goldfish from a wooden barrel containing goldfish within a time limit of 3 minutes and compete for the number. Since the daily standings are posted, you can challenge to the top. The scooped goldfish can be placed in a fishbowl for rent and can be monopolized during your stay.

Goldfish scooping at the actual festival is a condition to take home, but at Aomoriya, the staff keeps it every day, so there is no need to worry about it. In addition, in order to avoid crowding and close contact, wooden barrels are handed out one by one. You can challenge goldfish scooping while maintaining social distance.

1.　Experience an extraordinary space surrounded by goldfish Neputa

Decorate the Jawamegu Square with more than 450 goldfish Neputa. Aomoriya’s goldfish Neputa is an original expression of the long and large tail fins of Tsugaru Nishiki, and when hung, it looks more elegant than the usual one. The “Goldfish Neputa Lantern Corridor” that fills the ceiling and walls vividly and the red and black “Giant Goldfish Neputa” that is about 3m high create an extraordinary space.

2. “Goldfish Neputa Ice Cream” that looks just like Goldfish Neputa, which cools down with a chill.

Using cassis sorbet, apples, and candy apples, it expresses the goldfish Neputa swimming in a tub. You can enjoy the refreshing taste of sorbet and the crispy texture of apples at the same time.

3. Japan’s only “goldfish for rent” who loves goldfish in the room
