About 'Kurashiki Goldfish Museum ~ Yokai Hyakukin Gyoyou' Period: July 17, 2026 (Fri) - September 23, 2026 (Wed) 'Yokai Hyakukin Gyoyou' is a storytelling aquarium featuring a variety of vibrant goldfish that weave a mysterious and glamorous story from midnight to dawn. Under the worldview of 'Hyakki Yagyo' depicted with goldfish, visitors join the goldfish's night parade in the dead of night when everyone is asleep, pass through a lively and mysterious night festival, and are eventually guided to a quiet sunrise. Instead of appreciating the exhibition, the six spaces, where the seasons change in one night, are composed as a single story. At the venue, 40 species and 1000 goldfish color the story in each space.

Overview of Each Zone

【Prologue: Between Night and Night】 As the beginning of the story, this space invites visitors to the world of night.

Beautiful yet eerie, this is an immersive experience into a mysterious world as the entrance to 'Yokai Hyakukin Gyoyou'.

【Boar Hour: Path of Dreams】 This exhibition, wrapped in the tranquility of the night, delivers a fantastical time as if lost between reality and dreams.

【Ox Hour: Night Festival of Hyakukin】 As the main zone, this space is staged with the concept of a goldfish night festival and a bustling street, where the heat of the city at night and the festival intersect.

Amidst the bustling atmosphere, the main street of swimming goldfish spreads with a fantastical exhibition. The main tank themed 'Oni' by GAKYO MIYAZAWA has a powerful presence as if it were about to bare its fangs and attack, inviting visitors to a non-daily world.

【Tiger Hour: After the Festival】 After the festival's bustle has subsided, this space is staged with a quiet atmosphere where the sadness of autumn lingers.

Please experience the collaboration of gold and water imagined as autumn.

【Dawn Seven: Between the Moon and the Sun】 Conceptualized as sunrise, in this space where silver water shimmers, you can feel the gradation of light and shadow woven by the time of sunrise, and experience the aftertaste of the story.

【Sunrise: After the Dream】 Themed as morning light, this space expresses the latter part of the journey of the yokai goldfish's story.

Displaying goldfish that have returned to their original form, this space allows you to feel the aftertaste of the story. It provides a gentle and comforting moment for visitors.
