Kirarium Sado

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
