About Sado Gold Mine
The Sado Gold Mine is said to have been founded in 1601 by three mountain masters.
In 1603, the Sado Magistrate's Office was established under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the production of gold coins was also carried out, supporting the finances of the Edo shogunate.
In March 1989, unfortunately, operations were suspended due to resource depletion, and the long history of nearly 400 years came to an end.
