Want to try gold panning in Taiki Town?
Gold panning, recently talked about because of the hit movie Golden Kamuy, can still be experienced the old-fashioned way on the Rekifune River in Taiki Town!
The peak period for gold recovery on the Rekifune River is said to have been from the 1890s into the Taisho era, roughly the same time when the bullion battles in Golden Kamuy take place.
Taiki Town also provided some cooperation for the movie’s gold panning scenes.
See if you can spot Taiki Town in the end credits!
This year’s gold panning season is scheduled to start around Golden Week.
Come and give it a try!
