Toi Gold Mine

Toi Gold Mine

The Toi Kinzan gold mine was developed over four hundred years ago.
It was the largest gold mine in the Izu Peninsula and the second most productive gold mine in Japan after the Sado Kinzan gold mine.
The site of Toi Kinzan is now a tourist attraction. Scenes of gold mining are reproduced in a part of the tunnel of the mine that is now open to sightseeing.
At the mine museum, Ogonkan ("gold hall" in English), you can see and touch the 250-kilogram, world’s biggest gold ingot, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records and about 1.2 billion yen in today’s value.
Visitors can also try out gold-panning here. And, there is also a restaurant.
