Japan was
introduced as the golden country "Zipangu" in the past. There were many mines that produced gold, but

Although there are people who dig gold in a natural river as a hobby, the amount that can be taken is small.
I summarized the information
in a table that contains gold panning competitions ,experience places for gold panning, and mine tourist facilities.Although there are people who dig gold in a natural river as a hobby, the amount that can be taken is small.
