During the Edo period, Kyomachi Street flourished as a gold mining town, lined with numerous residences and shops. Now, you can enjoy a Bunraku puppet show at an old folk house restaurant perched on a hill overlooking the Sea of Japan. This traditional performance once entertained the gold miners of the area.
After the impressive puppet show, you'll be guided to a full-course French dinner prepared with local Sado ingredients. A popular highlight of the experience is the rare opportunity to learn puppet manipulation directly from the performers.
On your way back, you'll visit the Kitazawa Floatation Plant of the Sado Gold Mine. The illuminated night view of this structure creates a fantastical atmosphere, that makes you feel as if you wondered into the scenes from the movie "Laputa Castle in the Sky."
