Japan Koi Export (JKX) is a well-established company based in Ojiya City, Niigata, which is the heartland of Japanese Koi.
Martin Symonds formed JKX so that he could bring the very best koi from Niigata to customers at the very best possible prices, or “farm prices” as Martin calls it.  For 35 years he has been buying and shipping Japanese koi around the world. JKX are not agents, or ‘middle men’ who visit the area a couple of times a year. René Villela, (Martin’s associate) is based in Ojiya, Niigata and works closely side by side with many of the breeders. Martin himself has lived in Ojiya for 12 years.

Review from Katie Scott - November 2016 Japan Masterclass attendee

I want to give a big THANK YOU to Japan Koi Export and Martin Symonds for a great experience during the Master Class held in Japan. I am very grateful for this opportunity. Words can not express the beauty I have seen over the past weeks. Getting to meet and dine with several top breeders in this industry was amazing. Still overwhelmed with every thing I have learned and walked away with. I also want to thank everyone involved with with program and everyone I got to meet from ALL over the world. Until next time…..CHEERS!

It is because of our 35 years of close business and personal relationships with the leading breeders of Niigata, that we were allowed to join (in 2016) into the All Japan Nishikigoi Shinkokai Niigata Chapter, a very prestigious organisation, which we are very honoured to be part of. The members of this organisation include all the leading breeders of Niigata. They arrange major koi shows in Japan – including the All Japan Koi Show and hold regular meetings.

EXCLUSIVE JAPANESE KOI – Check out the breeders latest koi offers directly from their farms which we update weekly. 

Launched in 2016, Exclusive Japanese Koi is a dedicated website offering koi from some of Niigata’s leading breeders.

The breeders have their very own individual pages which gives them an opportunity to include and show you, (the customer),
a range of their koi, whether it be show koi, high quality koi or koi listed on our Spring Console List. New koi and special offers will be updated on the site on a weekly basis.

JKX’s long-term close friendship and business relationship with the breeders gives a unique inside knowledge to the best koi available. Over the years, customers of JKX’s have come to appreciate this close relationship, and therefore many customers return year after year.  For the customer to be satisfied is something JKX strive for – something that is also the “Japanese Way”.

Whether you come on one of our buying trips, Koi Masterclass or one of our tours, we feel that JKX can be your Gateway to Niigata Koi.

We hope you will enjoy using this site and that you will find it helpful.  This website covers all aspects of what our company has to offer. Both Martin Symonds and René Villela very much look forward to welcoming you to Japan.
