Welcome to Sado Tourism Association official Facebook!! Share your favourite photos and travel memories on our timeline!! We also provide tourist information.

Sado is a beautiful island in the Japan Sea with a huge variety of tourist resources including a rich natural environment, history, traditional culture and performing arts. The influence of Kyoto culture brought by the nobles who were banished here in the middle ages, and the more recent influx of Edo culture (due to the prosperity of the gold mines) have made Sado a meeting-place for cultures fro

m all over Japan. Each village has inherited a tradition of public entertainment, which is still performed. The whole island is involved in efforts to have the Sado gold mines, which supported the financial system of the Shogunate, registered as a World Heritage Site and residents from every area are helping with town building. Efforts are also underway to reintroduce the toki (Japanese crested ibis) , an internationally protected bird, and to create an environment conducive to its breeding. The Sado Tourist Association, in cooperation with firms involved in the tourist industry, and national administrative and private voluntary groups, promotes the conditions vital to a tourist destination by developing tourist resources, conserving the environment, maintaining facilities and improving hospitality. The Sado Tourist Association and the people of Sado welcome you to Sado and hope that our island will inspire many happy memories. See more information:

Spring has arrived on Sado Island, and Shiroyama Park in Ogi is now in full bloom with dreamy cherry blossoms. 🌸✨

Nestled on a gentle hill, this hidden gem turns into a soft sea of pink and white each April. Enjoy a quiet hanami picnic, take a stroll through the petals drifting in the breeze, or shoot some photos without the crowds. While popular sakura spots in Tokyo can be packed shoulder-to-shoulder, here on Sado, the beauty feels personal — peaceful, spacious, and easy to enjoy. If you’re on the island, don’t miss this magical moment — it only lasts a little while, but it's so special. 🌸🍃

After the winter break, Sado Island`s tub boat operators will start business again from April!

Look forward to experiencing Sado`s clear emerald waters from atop traditional vessels called "taraibune" (tub boats).
Taraibune are unique to Sado and were invented about 200 years ago to navigate Ogi peninsula`s rocky coast with its many narrow inlets. Even nowadays, locals launch their modernized and motorized tub boats to fish for turban shells and seaweed here.

There are in total three places where you may experience a tub boat ride: Rikiya Kanko Kisen, Yajima-Kyojima, and Shukunegi.

※ The pictures show Yajima-Kyojima.

The Jetfoil, as photographed from the car ferry, takes you from Niigata City to Sado Island`s Ryotsu Port in swift 67 minutes.

The car ferry ride takes 2 hours 30 minutes. A colony of seagulls travels along aiming to be fed by passengers on the deck. Just get some bird food (sold on the ferry) and stretch your hand out.

Step into the colorful world of Sakiori weaving.

Sakiori weaving, a centuries-old craft born from the ingenuity of Sado Island’s fishermen and mountain workers. This eco-friendly art form transforms old fabrics into stunning, durable textiles—perfect for creating unique accessories and home goods. With this workshop, create a one-of-a-kind woven sakiori piece.

Sit at a traditional “tachibata” loom and weave your own piece! Tear old cloth into strips, thread the loom, and learn to create thick, textured textiles.
Feel good knowing you’re creating something sustainable by reusing old fabrics and reducing waste.
In just 1–2 hours, you’ll create a beautiful woven piece that can be turned into a mat, coaster, or accessory case (like a business card holder). Your creation will be finished by the instructor and sent to your home or ready for pick-up the next day.

A few days after the blizzard has ceased and the sun came out again, Shukunegi Village looked almost like the frosted gingerbread house decorations people put up for Christmas in some countries.
Many houses are still inhabited, as you can see from the colorful snow shovels and other everyday objects in front of some buildings.

We stocked up on our Sado-T`s!

The "サド (Sado) T-Shirts" were very popular last year and sold out quickly.
This year we added new color variations (in total nine) and introduced a complementary "ガシマー (Gasima)" version, too!
If you get both versions and stand next to each other you will form "Sadogashima" (Sado Island). You may also wear it at Sado`s scenic spots and take commemorative pictures.

These T-Shirts are sold exclusively at the Tourist Information Centre in Ryotsu for
2,500 yen!

The observation deck on a hill overlooking Lake Kamo and the Osado Mountain Range is lit up in the evening (17:00~23:00) until the end of March.
It is located right next to Shiizaki-Suwa Jinja, which has a Noh stage on its shrine precincts that is still actively used for performances during summer.
This hill is also one of the best sunset viewing spots on the island.

We might see another cold wave in early February and can hopefully expect snowfall again.
It is very rare for snow to pile up that much in Aikawa`s historic Kyomachi-dori Street and Gold Mine area, because strong winds don`t allow for snow to accumulate. In early January people on Sado got to enjoy this rare view.
