For instance, last year we had an excursion to Sado Gold Mine on the 2nd day, which has been selected as an UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site on July 27th, 2024. It has been the 26th world heritage site in Japan.
The popular "split mountain" in the Sado island was part of a huge Gold Mine dug and was made by hand in the Edo period.
