Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park

Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park is an interactive facility where visitors can experience the history of Sado, once famed as a gold-producing region. It stands on the site of the legendary Nishimikawa Gold Mine, which appears in tales from the Heian and Kamakura periods. In the Sengoku era, it provided war funds for Uesugi Kenshin, and during the Edo period, it served as an important financial resource for the Tokugawa shogunate. Visitors can learn about the dynamic mining method known as Oonagashi (“Great Washing”), which once supported the mine’s prosperity, through detailed models and video displays.

The intermediate and advanced gold panning activities are pretty tiring. If you squat for a long time or use your arms a lot, you'll definitely feel sore.

America-mura

In the 1970s, the area around Nishi-Shinsaibashi came to be known as "America-mura" because the warehouses were converted into stores that began selling used clothes, records, and miscellaneous goods that were imported from the west coast of the United States.

The tickets are not expensive, and both the animals and the shows inside are really impressive.

You really have to stay until closing to make it worth it. Otherwise, it's just not the same! 😌

The maple leaves are at their most beautiful when they're falling. I recommend coming here in the fall.
