Aikawa Ep.1 World Heritage Site:Sado Gold Mine and Mining Town that Supported the Tokugawa Shogunate

Aikawa Town, the town of the Sado Gold Mine, a World Heritage Site, is the administrative center of northwest Sado. During the Edo period, Aikawa became a shogunate territory and was the location of the Sado Magistrate's Office, which oversaw Sado. It is said that the population of Aikawa exceeded 100,000 at its peak as the central city of Sado. When Sado Prefecture was established in the Meiji period, it also became the prefectural capital.

The gold and silver deposits are not yet depleted, but at the current exchange rate, the cost of mining and refining is higher than the price of gold and silver, so they are dormant. However, the gold mines are a tourist resource that is synonymous with Sado, and many tourists visit, with about half of the tourists who visit Sado staying in Aikawa Town. Okubo Nagayasu, who was appointed as the magistrate of Sado, built the Sado Magistrate's Office on a plateau overlooking Aikawa Bay and developed the town. The town on the plateau around the magistrate's office was called Kamimachi, and the area along the coast about 2 km north to south was called Shimomachi, and between the two town areas, on the hillside of the plateau, Teramachi was formed. The land tax book from 1655 lists as many as 89 towns. Daikumachi and Barber's Town, where the miners live. Yoneyamacho, Yaoyacho, Yojimonocho, Shioyacho, and Misoyacho, where food-related businesses are run. Sumiyacho, Kamiyacho, and Itamachi, where daily necessities are sold. Other areas include Chayamachi, Naramachi Shibamachi, Zaimokucho, and others, making the area a town comparable to a castle town. Kamimachi is known as "Kamiaikawa Senken," and when combined with Shimomachi, the port town of Aikawa, which supported a population of 100,000 at its peak, it prospered with supplies related to the gold mine business, as well as daily necessities and food brought in from all over the country. At the northern end of town is Mizukanemachi, a former red-light district. The town was relocated from the center of Aikawa to the Mizukane River in 1717, and is said to have had eleven red-light districts.
