Satoyama and Art The twentieth century was the era of the city and the art of the city. However, as the city ailed, art became isolated and gradually lost its latent power to connect people to place and people to people. The nature and lifestyle of the satoyama of Echigo-Tsumari environment seems to inspire artists to recover the connections and collaborations that art once had but which has almost been lost. Artworks are dotted across approximately 200 villages rather than displayed in a single center, an “absolutely inefficient” approach deliberately at odds with the rationalization and efficiency of modern society. Wandering among artworks which emphasise the beauty and richness of satoyama and reveal the accumulated temporal layers of human inhabitation opens the senses to the wonder of existence and revives the soul.

Kirarium Sado is a guidance center of the Sado Gold and Silver Mine. Here we have 4 theaters, projection mappings and panels which are very informative and help you understand the history and how the Mines developed. The Gold Mine in Aikawa area was found more than 400 years ago and developed rapidly. The "Gold Rush" brought people and cultures from different parts of Japan which created the unique culture on Sado Island. So many things about the island can be explained by the relations with the Gold and Silver Mine. After visiting Kirarium Sado, you can get a big picture of Sado Island. We highly recommend you to visit Kirarium Sado before or after the Sado Gold Mine. The tourist information is inside Kirarium Sado and you can hire bicycles. Why don't you start exploring Aikawa area from Kiraium Sado? ●Opening hour: 8:30 - 17:00 (Last entry is at 16:30) ●Entrance fee: Adult ￥300, Child ￥150

The movie was surprisingly well made and a great way to start our visit to Aikawa, gave a good overview of the history and context to the town.
