Step back in time at this unique theme park built on the grounds of the historic Besshi Copper Mine. You can hop on a charming little train that chugs its way into the original mining tunnels, where you'll find fascinating displays that bring the tough world of the miners to life. It’s a fun and interactive way for the whole family to connect with the region's industrial past, and you can even try your hand at panning for gold. For the more adventurous, a separate bus tour can take you high into the mountains to explore the stunning ruins of the Tohnaru zone, nicknamed the “Machu Picchu of the Orient.” This is a great little rest-stop on the way between Tokushima and Matsuyama, showing you the region's history in the quirky way only Japan can.
