Meet and Speak - 06 Traditional Culture on Sado Island


# 6. Exploring Traditional Culture on Sado Island
MAP

Sado Island is known for its pristine wilderness, and home to the crested ibis, a bird threatened with extinction. Sado's gold mines were once the most productive in Japan. The mines were worked for 388 years. Now they preserve artifacts and mining heritage that can be seen nowhere else in Japan.

Next it's on to a museum dedicated to the crested ibis, a bird that is a symbol of both Niigata Prefecture and Japan. Here there are informational displays about the captive breeding program, audiovisual materials about the birds behavior, and more. Even the very last wild crested ibis in Japan is stuffed and on display.

Cedric and the girls have come to this dock to experience a unique Sado tradition.
Sado Island has a rocky coastline with many narrow inlets. To gather shellfish and seaweed, locals use very stable tub boats rowed with a stirring motion. Tourists can take rides on these tub boats too.
