Toi Gold Mine is located in Nishi Izu. Admission gets you a tour of the tunnels, a description of the mining process, entrance to the museum where the world’s biggest gold bar can be touched, and a chance to pan for gold. After finding gold, you can try wasabi ice cream.

Cool... I want to touch the gold bar, too. By the way, can you bring home the flecks of gold you have panned?
