Kingyo Square in Yamatokoriyama

Yamatokoriyama city plays host to the 23rd national goldfish scooping competition, where thousands of entrants play in this hotly contested championship each year. The basic rule is that the player scoops goldfish from a pool with a paper scooper called a poi and puts them into a bowl. The game is over when the poi is completely broken or incapable of scooping properly. The winner is the one with the most fish!
