[Sado Island] Travel & Sightseeing Map (By Rental Car)
![[Sado Island] Travel & Sightseeing Map (By Rental Car)](https://static.stroly.com/6823120755/materials/45733a68-d948-4933-b859-b4382173121a.png)
A sightseeing map for exploring Sado Island (Sadogashima) with your family. From the Sado Kinzan Gold Mine, part of the World Heritage Site “Sado Island Gold Mines”, to Toki no Mori Park, the tub boats of Ogi, the old townscape of Shukunegi and unique landforms such as Manjojiki, we’ve gathered the places we want to visit with our kids. It all started when our child, a big fan of the YouTuber "けえ【島育ち】" (Kee), made us want to visit Sado Island. The more we researched, the more we discovered: an island about 1.4 times the size of Tokyo’s 23 wards, packed with things to see. After carefully going through Google Maps and guidebooks, we also added practical spots for driving around the island, such as cafés, bakeries, farm stands and gas stations.
