The Rekifune River was once the scene of a gold rush. Gold dust still lies in the river, and visitors can experience gold prospecting using the traditional tools, "kaccha" or "yuriita", at the upper reaches of the Rekifune River.
Both adults and children can enjoy this exciting experience of gold prospecting, which is like a treasure hunt. Forget about time for a while and enjoy gold prospecting.
