    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Nishimikawa 835-1
    A hands-on museum built on the site of the former Nishimikawa Gold Mine in Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. Mentioned in the Konjaku monogatarishu, a collection of stories dated to the end of the Heian period, this ancient and historic mine even helped fund the war efforts of Uesugi Kenshin, a historic figure. The museum presents a variety of materials relating to gold and gold mining in its exhibition rooms and theater. There’s also a museum shop. The museum lets visitors try panning for gold and participants can take home the gold dust they find stored in a keychain or pendant.

    I remember gold panning as a kid in West Virginia. On a rainy day, we were traveling around Sado, and if you know this island, you know most of its charm is the outdoors - not exactly ideal to...

    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Ogimachi 1935
    This tourist boat dock in Ogi Port is a four-minute walk from Sado Kisen. It is popular for its taraibune (wash tub boat) rides, one of Sado's key tourist attractions. The relaxing boats, which seat up to three adults, can be paddled by an oarswoman or by the passengers themselves. While the boats might appear unstable, they are surprisingly hard to capsize, making riding one like taking a leisurely stroll on the ocean. The dock also offers motorboat tours of the Ogi Coast lasting between 10 to 35 minutes, as well as high-speed sightseeing boats (group reservation required).

    漕いでくれる女性がいて私たちは乗っているだけ。 揺れることは揺れるも救命胴衣付けることもないので安全なのだろう。 港の中をグルっと回るだけなので景色が変わらないのは残念であった。 たらい船は３か所あるみたい 小木・宿根木・矢島と。小木・矢島はたらい船安定のための仕掛けがあるようだが、宿根木は本来のたらい船の様である。

    Niigata Sado-shi Aikawa Kitazawa Machi 2
    A cultural facility adjoining the former Kitazawa Flotation Plant, said to have once been the largest mineral flotation processing plant in Asia. Here visitors can experience Mumyoi ware and Sakiori recycled cloth weaving, two traditional crafts native to the Aikawa Area. A designated National Important Intangible Cultural Property, Mumyoi ware is a type of pottery fired at high temperatures made with “mumyoi,” a mineral-rich clay produced from the Sado Gold Mine which contains iron oxide. Extremely hard, this pottery makes a clear, metallic sound when struck. Sakiori cloth is woven from strips of old cloth using a loom called Nemaribata. The facility’s staff can provide you with attentive, detailed guidance with either craft, making it easy to experience these traditional arts (advance reservation required).

    北沢浮遊選鉱場に面しています。入場無料です。 裂織りや焼き物を体験できる施設です。裂織りの素晴らしい作品や小物なども展示販売されています。体験学習にも利用されているようです。 選鉱場見学の後にふらっと立ち寄りましたが、素敵な場所でした。
