Touring Sado Island and the first stop was the Sado Gold Mine, or Sado Kinzan.
Several people took their turn to lift and extract the gold bar. Patricia giving it her best shot.

What a fun hands-on experience!
After our soba lunch, we went on a traditional tarai-bune boat ride.
The ride was short but fun.
Some tried to paddle the tadai however no one was able to paddle the tarai-bune forward and just went around in a circle.
A lady paddling a Tarai said it took her a month to learn how to do it.
