Learn about Japanese history at the Sado Gold Mine, a World Cultural Heritage Site

The Sado Gold Mine on Sado Island was designated a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2024. I visited in mid-September; since it gets quite chilly there, long-sleeved, warm clothing is a must. The standard course was described as taking 1 to 1.5 hours, but I think it took me about 45 minutes. I imagine it would have taken a little longer if I’d taken my time to read all the explanations. It’s said that from the discovery of the ore vein in 1601 until the mine closed in 1989, about 78 metric tons of gold and 2,300 metric tons of silver were extracted—it’s hard to really picture that. Doyu no Warito (Doyu’s Split) got its name because the mountain ended up looking as if it had split open as a result of mining exclusively for the gold and silver veins—a sight that really brings home the impact of human activity.
