Finally had the chance to visit and do a tour at Kodama Koi Farm in Mililani. Had to schedule an appointment for a tour and it's $10 per person (as of May 2024), and regardless of if you are interested in purchasing koi or not, it is great to learn and discover the different breeds, colors, and types of koi that are available and originally bred in Japan. It's about 8 acres big, and the family-run business has some really dedicated people who love what they do when it comes to caring for the koi. Again, they sell koi of all different sizes, shapes, colors, and prices. Occasionally, they have special open house events where the general public can come and visit without having to schedule an appointment. Kodama Koi Farm has sold koi to local hotels and throughout the mainland. They have also been featured on Scenic Hawaii Channel (now Experience Hawaii Channel) and PBS Hawaii. read more

Excellent selection of koi, price ranging from $70+. The process works by going online, placing your order and choosing either shipping or you can pick up at the Mililani farm. We opted to pick up from the Mililani farm and just called them after placing our online order. They gave us a time and date for pickup. The day of pickup, I provided name and they had the fishes already packed up in a cardboard box. My dad asked the worker if all the fish are in there and she said, "I think so." Lol We got home and we were missing a fish. We drove from Kapolei to Mililani so it's a pretty far journey to have to do 2 round trips for. The worker really didn't even acknowledge the inconvenience it caused us, especially because we tried to double check before leaving. Mandatory tip: open the cardboard box and count the amount of fish and double check before you leave The fishes are of high quality, great coloring and the workers were knowledgeable. Would recommend getting fish here but do your due diligence and double check. read more

I have had koi for many years. I ordered 5 koi from Kodama. I did not quarantine because no room and have experienced more issues with quarantining than putting fish directly in my pond. A few days 6 out of 10 of my fish became ill. They all survived except one. We concluded this may have been due to old pond syndrome (my fish had not been exposed to new fish in 6 years). Now a few months later 2-3 of the fish Kodama sent have Carp Pox (herpes 1) which causes wart like growths on the fish. Once in your pond it is for life. Never had an issue before these new fish. The staff has been responsive to my emails. I am still frustrated that the fish brought carp pox to my pond. I don't think quarantine would have avoided this but I definitely would advise quarantining any new fish in the future. I buy my food and other supplies through them. I just advise people with established ponds to be aware and also be aware of the risk of carp pox. read more

We have a small Koi pond and as with a lot of folks always had problems with algea. A few years ago purchased a small submersible black light that was supposed to help. Well,it really did until this year when I broke it while cleaning the pond filter. When online to purchase a new one and could not find it. One really shady online site showed that they had it, but they had horrible reviews so no go. I was at wits end because I did not want to deal with algea again. Finally I found these guys, they had the item and I ordered it. A few days later the item arrived. I was very happy, plugged it in and no go. I was devastated since I didnt know if they even had one to replace it with. Well, they did. I sent them a few pictures of the light showing it was DOA and they immediately replied back that they would send out a new one next day. I offered to send the broken one back, but they told me to just discard it. I've been dealing with online companies since there was an online and I would rate these guys a 10+++. Thank you so much you guys are awesome!!! read more

Kodama koi farm had a "buy two get one free" deal for color up and all season koi food from Jul 17-19. Naturally I bought 2 to get one free, after a week I sent them an email asking if free bag will be send with the other two. Got a reply from Jess saying there's confusion on the sale and will only send 2 bags! Website clearly shows buy two get one free. I've been buying koi and koi food from them for more than 15 years. Totally disappointed and will start looking for a better store with more integrity read more

Kodama Koi Farm - Screen shot from website - Fishing Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

They were the only place I could find on the island that sold a semi-rare type of goldfish called a tamasaba. Their staff was responsive and helpful, and I was able to pick up my fish the same day I had ordered him online. Healthy and very beautiful, he's living in one of my indoor tanks right now, and I'm going to be a little sad when he moves to the outdoor pond as he gets bigger. read more

Kodama Koi Farm - Their name is Corn Chip now - Fishing Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Deep in Mililani in the middle of a bunch of fruit and tree farms is this hidden koi farm. We visited during their open house which occurs once a month. They sell koi of all sizes, shapes, colors, and prices to the "general public" but most of the people there were serious koi enthusiasts. We just went to look at the fish, while others brought flashlights and magnifying glasses and studied every move before selecting their catch of the day. They all looked the same to me. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#HzI6H3bVHil7wP6xC64Paw PRICES ranged from $20 for a baby koi all the way up to hundreds of dollars for the large koi. They also have an online auction where people from all over the world bid in the thousands of dollars for a single fish!! LOCATION: I posted step by step pictures of how to get there because Google maps will send you to the wrong place, and once you pass the guard, you're basically just driving on unpaved roads in the middle of fields. Step 1. Drive to the end of Meheula Parkway, go through the "Mililani Ag Park" driveway and be ready to present your license to the security guard. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#ejLmv9_hfor0JbkWCszHOw Step 2. STAY LEFT at these signs. (this is important!) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#Szvf0drfisS7MLqtO7X4ig Step 3. Turn right on Samoa http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#-JvFoRgyV8LGotb5F86V6w Step 4. Turn left on Ufi http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#S2y6i9orNjlJx81iH_u3XQ Step 5. Turn left at this telephone pole http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FYFXf9Nnc8esv0f8-ydenw?select=EsnmAHXpWrcJUvGRPPSNlw#1UI9zGO6bKChxIOJq47pfg I've been here before when the entire farm was open to our group. During the open house yesterday they limited access to just the blue buckets in the center of the farm, so there wasn't as much to see, but if you're into koi and you have an opportunity to come here on a day when the entire farm is open, it's pretty cool. (The kids INISISTED on getting a fish, so we got a baby Heisei Nishiki. I think it's going to get too big for us next year sometime, so if you have a large koi pond, holler!) read more

I purchased a koi (Kohaku sanke) from Kodama koi farm a couple of weeks ago through their koi auction. Since I live in Mililani I was able to pick it up from them. It is a beautiful two year old koi! When I first got my koi, he was very shy and didn't eat for a week. I was worried but I patiently tried to feed him everyday. Now, he is coming up for food and swimming around the pond. He is beautiful and healthy koi. read more

Kodama Koi Farm - Koi in pond - Fishing Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Kodama Koi Farm does not carry the cheapie store bought-type fish. They are serious koi enthusiasts who supply the serious koi folks around the country after importing the fish in from top, Japan breeders. Beautiful koi in varying price points. They have open houses, usually once a month but you have to know someone who receives their e-mail notification, or sign up for it with them. Kodama also sells their own line of koi foods - quite expensive, but if you are serious about koi, you can't buy the cheap stuff. Most of the people who go to the open houses are very knowledgeable and serious about the fish that they purchase - sometimes I feel a little bit intimidated, but I mostly go to "window shop" anyway. Someday when my serious koi pond gets up and running I will return to make some koi purchases. read more

I purchased around $1,500 worth of beautiful Koi on their auction site. The fish were shipped UPS overnight to my home on two different dates.. The first box was opened on arrival and the largest fish were inside in water that was as yellow as concentrated human urine with a small amount of fecal matter. I thought perhaps this was a safety guard product that kept the koi safe or quiet. The second box, however, was not discolored at all. Although the fish seemed alright, the largest koi were so under weight that I worried that I wouldn't be able to get them pumped up enough for the winter's fast approaching cold water fasting. They looked more like emaciated sea snakes.There was a 40+cm kujyaku as well as a 34 cm Aigoromo, and a 40 cm Showa. Other fish were smaller. Three of these fish have not done well, at all, and are isolating and refusing to eat. I called to see what my remedy would be if they did in deed pass away, in spite of my efforts to treat them, since they arrived in such poor weight and dirty discolored water. Kodama said, "They left here in clear water, so it is not their fault, and therefore it was UPS handling of the fish boxes, once they took them over, that Likely caused the problem." No remedy existed after 24 hours on arrival, unless they were dead. I asked, why they didn't use Pond Prime or similar products, to bind all of any dangerous ammonia that might become present. The answer was, "we don't use any binding product." End of story. I was told to write an emiail to the manager; since he didn't speak English he would not speak with me . Another box of $500 of fish arrived the next week in clear water, but one of the Showas is also exhibiting sick behavior, but it is eating. The thin fish are already bulking up. I hate this experience, as I have been buying koi for decades from all over the country and Japan through various brokers. Poor " Candy", in the office, did a good job for the company, trying to deflect my outrage, at their explanations, as I am sure she is well trained to do. I am sorry she had to hear me ROAR! Buyer Beware!!! See Christian's review, also here ,and the identical issues he raised and the identical responses and lack of responsibility for these recurring consumer issues, that he got. read more

Taro and he awesome staff are so friendly and helpful. We have loved the all the beautiful koi we have purchased from Kodama Koi Farm.
