Record

# Toki-no-mori Koen park (The Japanese Crested Ibis Conservation center)
In this center, visitors can observe the live ibis in the sanctuary. In the past, the birds could be seen throughout Japan until the mid-20th century. However, in 2003, the last native-born ibis died, resulting in a total extinction. Meanwhile, artificial breeding using the identical species dobnated by China has been restoring the population and select individuals have been reintroduced to Sado's nature every year since 2008.

# Sado Gold mine
It was ranked one of the world's top 3 pecious mineral mines along with ones in Potosi, Bolivia and Zacatecas, Mexico-both registered World Heritage areas - in the early 17th century.
