ContentsExperience
Tenpyo Roman-kan offers a workshop where visitors can pan for gold using the wangake method, which makes use of gold’s specific gravity. Any gold dust you manage to collect can be taken home with you! Though only a little nowadays, gold still does flows down from the mountain via the small streams nearby, so it really is possible to collect some here.
