Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park, Mining theme park in Sado, Japan.
The Sado Nishimikawa Gold Park features multiple gold panning stations where visitors extract gold dust from natural sand through different methods and difficulty levels.
The Nishimikawa Gold Mine, established in 1100, reached its maximum production during the 16th and 17th centuries before closing operations in 1872.
Exhibition galleries display the traditional gold mining techniques and tools, demonstrating the essential role of gold extraction in Japanese economic development.
