In the second episode of Cooper’s spring 2026 visit to Suxin Koi Farm, we step beyond the main location and explore a couple of the farm’s other greenhouses.
Each greenhouse offers a different glimpse into the care, space, and experience behind Suxin’s koi. The visit is a reminder that raising exceptional fish is about much more than a single facility. It takes a thoughtful process and years of dedicated work.
One of the most memorable stops is the original greenhouse, where Cooper visits the 2025 Grand Champion Showa. This remarkable koi won the top award at one of Japan’s biggest koi shows, and it looks as healthy and beautiful as ever.
Seeing the fish again is a real highlight of the trip, and a testament to the great work Suxin Koi Farm continues to do. From the newest spaces to the original greenhouse, every part of the farm reflects the knowledge and commitment that go into producing world-class koi.
