One reason the Duck race is held is to get people together and clean the river which is home to 1,000 Koi carp. Every year we clean out the river making it a better environment.
Tochigi City Duck Race was created by Tochigi Global Group with the mindset to bring foreigners and Japanese people together and for them to embrace each other's cultures. (Tochigi Global Group was founded in 2017 by Nick Harrison, an English teacher living in Tochigi.)
