I took up the topic of this museum before.
This facility introduces the history and tools of gold mine to citizens. There
is a large pool where more than 100 people can gold panning at the same time.
Here, the largest gold panning championships
in Japan is held annually, and it was held for two days on 29 and 30 July 2017.
On the first day, the junior division, the
proficient division and the unofficial division were held with 200
participants. On the second day, school competition with 8 schools of junior
high school and high school were held, 136 people were played in school groups
and 5 person team.
Panning technology of high school students
has improved year by year, and the winner in this year was a female student. I
think she can make a good result at the world gold panning championships.
