Stumbled across this place unexpectedly and was blown away by the site, it was so out of this world. Wish we could get closer to it but still felt pretty unreal. The hotel I stayed also took me there at night when the light show was on and it was so eerie. Would recommend check it out both day and night (if the light show is on) to compare if u are staying close by. There is also a pottery shop close but I ran out of time to visit due to limited bus run.
2. 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

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.

I was told by multiple trusted sources that the Sado Gold Mine was really worth visiting, and I am so glad I did. Inside the mines you can really imagine previous eras, the historical, technical, cultural dynamics. I have seen too many lame experiences around the world, but this one really delivered! I would actually like to go back again and take friends.

The toki (crested ibis) are making a comeback on Sado thanks to this preservation and breeding program. These endangered creatures are a rare sight, so being able to see some of the breeding pairs up close is awesome!
