[Niigata] I visited the Sado Gold Mine, a World Heritage Site

In July 2024, Sado Kinzan was registered as a World Heritage Site✨
So I immediately took a ferry to Sado Island🚢

From the Edo period to the Meiji period, gold and silver mining was actively carried out on Sado Island, and it was an important place that supported Japan's economy.

The remains of the mine include buildings and facilities that convey the mining techniques and lifestyles of the time, and "Otateyama" and the "Kinzan Museum" in particular give visitors a sense of history.

A spot where you can enjoy magnificent scenery while learning about the history and culture of the mine in a natural environment.

Visiting Sado Kinzan also has educational significance as it allows you to experience the traditions and folk culture of the region, and many students visit on school trips. Sado Kinzan, where history and nature come together, has become an attractive tourist destination for many people♪

You can also try scooping for gold, so please give it a try✨
