Sado Gold Mine is one of the important historical sites on Sado Island. The mine started operation in 1601 when gold was discovered and stopped in 1989. During the Edo period, towns near the mine grew, forming large settlements which include miners, merchants, and shop-keepers. The conditions in the mine were often dangerous as it was cramped and the amount of fresh air was low. It is estimated to have around 400km of mining tunnels and is named after the mining engineers. 
Sado Kinzan offers tours into the mine shafts. The Sohdayukoh course allows visitors to see the Edo period shafts and the mechanized robots that represent the miners during the time. The Dohyukoh course is focused on the Meiji period where the shafts are wider and taller. One of the main points of this tour is the mining machinery maintenance shop that was built in 1938. Of course, visitors have the choice to choose both and experience what the mine has to offer overall. The tours end at Sado Gold Mine Museum where original artifacts are displayed for viewing.

佐渡金矿是佐渡岛重要的历史遗迹之一。该金矿于 1601 年发现金矿时开始开采，1989 年停止开采。在江户时代，矿山附近的城镇不断发展，形成了包括矿工、商人和店主在内的大型居住区。由于矿井空间狭窄，新鲜空气稀少，矿井中的环境往往十分危险。据估计，这里有大约 400 公里长的矿道，并以采矿工程师的名字命名。 
佐渡金山提供矿井之旅。在 "Sohdayukoh "路线上，游客可以看到江户时代的矿井和代表当时矿工的机械化机器人。都役所路线主要介绍明治时期的矿井，当时的矿井更宽更高。参观的重点之一是建于 1938 年的采矿机械维修车间。 当然，游客也可以选择两种方式，体验矿山的整体风貌。参观的终点是佐渡金矿博物馆（Sado Gold Mine Museum），这里陈列着可供参观的原始文物。

Sado Kinzan (Sado Gold Mine) 

Niigata Prefecture, located in Japan’s “Snow Country,” is a paradise for skiers and snowboarders, home to Yuzawa Ski Resort, one of the largest ski and snowboarding areas in Japan, and easily accessible from Tokyo. In combination with its onsen hot springs, visitors can hit the slopes, then hit the baths, soaking their aching muscles in the mineral water.

Despite its reputation as a winter wonderland, Niigata is a beautiful prefecture to visit, not just in winter, but all year round. Mt. Naeba doubles as both a ski resort and a hiking spot, the Nagaoka Summer Festival is a magical evening of fireworks, and the Naeba Gondola features the fiery autumnal foliage from a perfect vantage point. And for flower viewing, the Yahiko Shrine shows off the Imperial flower of Japan during the Chrysanthemum Festival. Sado Island, off the coast of Niigata, is one of Japan’s largest islands and hosts the three-day music festival in August called the Earth Celebration, which features drum performances, locally-made crafts, and street food. 

Niigata Prefecture is known for rice and Japanese sake. It is famous for its Koshihikari Rice, one of the most high-quality and popular types of rice in Japan. Uonuma Koshihikari is one of the most highest-grade brands of Niigata rice, with a price tag to match. And of course, with such high-quality Japanese rice comes superior Japanese sake. The cool climate lends itself well to low and slow fermentation temperatures, leading to a mellower flavored sake. <a href="https://www.byfood.com/blog/travel-tips/the-beginners-guide-to-mochi">Mochi</a>, another product of rice, is a popular Niigata food. In particular, Sasadango, a rice cake filled with sweet red bean paste and wrapped in a bamboo leaf, is a classic Niigata treat.

新泻县位于日本的 "雪国"，是滑雪者和滑雪板爱好者的天堂，这里有日本最大的滑雪场之一汤泽滑雪场（Yuzawa Ski Resort），从东京前往汤泽滑雪场非常方便。游客可以在这里滑雪，然后泡温泉，将酸痛的肌肉浸泡在矿泉水中。

尽管新泻县以冬季仙境而闻名，但它不仅在冬季，而且一年四季都是旅游胜地。苗场山既是滑雪胜地，也是远足胜地，长冈夏日祭是一个焰火绽放的神奇夜晚，苗场缆车则能从绝佳的角度欣赏火红的红叶。在赏花方面，弥彦神社会在菊花祭期间展示日本的御用花卉。佐渡岛位于新泻海岸附近，是日本最大的岛屿之一，每年八月会举办为期三天的音乐节 "地球庆典"，内容包括太鼓表演、当地制作的手工艺品和街头小吃。 

新泻县以大米和日本清酒闻名。这里的越光米非常有名，是日本最优质、最受欢迎的大米之一。Uonuma Koshihikari 是新泻大米中最高级的品牌之一，价格也不菲。当然，高品质的日本大米也会带来优质的日本清酒。凉爽的气候有利于低温缓慢发酵，从而使清酒的味道更加醇厚。<a href="https://www.byfood.com/blog/travel-tips/the-beginners-guide-to-mochi">麻</a>糬是大米的另一种产品，也是新潟的人气食品。特别是用竹叶包着甜甜的红豆沙的年糕 "Sasadango"，是新潟的经典美食。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
