Situated in Ichikikushikino City, "Shochu Gura Satsuma Kinzangura" is an exceptionally unique, creative historical attraction globally where a real gold mine (gold mine pit) that once supported the prosperity of Satsuma was boldly renovated to craft authentic sweet potato shochu. The absolute marvel for international tourists is an adventurous experience boarding a real mining trolley train that takes passengers deep underground into a pleasantly cool, dim mine tunnel. Maintained at a perfectly constant temperature year-round, visitors can observe traditional handmade koji preparation and robust mashing methods inside massive "Kametsubo" clay pots, highlighting Japan's superb fermentation culture. It stands as an excellent amusement destination where golden historic romance and deep shochu heritage delightfully fuse.
