- What is Toi Gold Mine?
Located in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Toi Gold Mine is the largest gold mine on Honshu. Mining began in the 1370s during the Ashikaga period and reached its peak during the Edo period. With an estimated production of 40 tons of gold and 400 tons of silver, it was the second largest in Japan, following only the Sado Gold Mine. Today, Toi Gold Mine is open as a tourist facility. Inside the tunnel, animatronic figures recreate the mining scenes of the Edo period, allowing visitors to travel back in time and personally experience the historical atmosphere of Izu's golden land.
- What can you do at Toi Gold Mine?
Take the Gold Mine Tour along the sightseeing tunnel to see the recreated mining scenes up close. The Gold Museum displays gold ore, a 1/8 scale model of a Sengoku ship, and exhibits of gold coins such as Oban and Koban. The Lucky Golden Garden and the Golden Torii Gate within the park are popular photo spots, while the Mountain Shrine, which enshrines Oyamatsumi-no-Mikoto, the deity of wealth and good fortune, attracts visitors to pray for blessings. You can also participate in a gold panning experience (depending on the package) or enjoy pure gold coffee at the on-site cafe (at your own expense), offering a wide variety of ways to enjoy your visit.
