金の道 |交流イベント in 小千谷

Gold and silver produced at the Sado Gold and Silver Mine was transported along the main road to Edo Castle, a long distance away. This road stretching for approximately 400 kilometers was called the "Golden Road," and the post towns along the route prospered greatly. With the decision to register the site as a World Heritage Site in July 2024, we will reaffirm the appeal and value of the "Sado Island Gold Mine," which has been recognized worldwide, and hold a talk session to explore its connection with the Golden Road and Mikuni Kaido.
