How to Choose a Koinobori That Suits Your Lifestyle [Vol. 4] Choosing a Balcony Set

March 8, 2026

Just a slight mistake with the equipment, and Children's Day turned into a terrible memory!

It's not uncommon to hear stories of parents giving wonderful gifts, but the equipment doesn't fit, so it can't be displayed and ends up at the back of a closet.
For families looking forward to Koinobori, there's nothing sadder than that, right?

As introduced in 【How to Choose Koinobori for Your Lifestyle Vol. 1】, the second most common Koinobori mishap is "wrong equipment."
And I can tell you in advance that the most common type of incorrect equipment by far is the balcony set.

To prevent such unfortunate mistakes, Hare to Kurasu only sells the "Premium Balcony Stand Set," which can be displayed on any modern balcony. Please purchase with confidence.

This time, we will be providing guidance for those considering a balcony set from other brands. We hope you can make Children's Day an even more wonderful memory.

There are two types of balcony models!

The stand type, compatible with any balcony.

The equipment is installed inside the balcony and can be easily displayed.

In addition, the "Premium Balcony Stand" can be used not only on balconies but also as a regular stand pole. The black pole is stylish and luxurious.

Attachment equipment for apartment and condominium railings, commonly used until the early 1990s. As it is installed directly from the outside of the railing, there is a risk of fittings, koinobori, etc., falling. It is not suitable for houses with privacy-screened balconies introduced after the late 1990s.

Surprisingly, these are for grated balconies, which are very rare now.

Since these fittings were made about half a century ago, you can purchase them for about half the price. (Of course, some homes still fit this balcony type.)

However, in modern multi-unit dwellings (apartments and condominiums), the fittings are unlikely to fit.

Also, many properties are starting to prohibit koinobori or laundry on balconies, so many people probably just leave the equipment in the back of their closets because it's too much trouble to buy new fittings.

In modern homes with various balcony types,
if you're wondering which balcony type is best,

　

The foolproof choice is ➡ the stand type.

Still,

We will provide full support.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding koinobori selection, please feel free to leave a comment or DM.

By sharing questions and suggestions with everyone,

we hope that more children will have a wonderful May 5th with koinobori.
