Set a new historical high, with a skyrocketing value of over 500%! The gold price here is the heaviest gold nugget in the world
This week, the domestic retail price of gold in Japan reached a historic high. The continuous rise in gold prices has not only driven domestic gold trading in Japan, but also sparked a gold rush experience in Japan.
A closed gold mine in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan has now become a gold themed amusement park. Recently, influenced by the rising domestic gold prices in Japan, the gold exploration experience offered here has attracted many tourists.
There are 5 sinks about 10 meters long here, which are places to experience gold mining and gather many tourists. According to the staff, the number of guests here has increased by 30% compared to the same period last year recently. The experience fee for gold mining is approximately 37 yuan, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Tourists who have searched the most can search for more than 140 gold coins at once.
Each person uses a small basin with grooves, fills it with gravel, and turns the basin. As the weight of sand is greater than that of gravel, as the basin rotates, the sand will gradually sink to the bottom of the basin. After repeatedly removing the gravel, the remaining sand and gold in the basin can be packed and taken home.
In addition to experiencing gold mining, there are also many gold products on display here. The most noteworthy among them is a Guinness World Records certified global heaviest gold nugget, which is made of pure gold and weighs 250 kilograms. Based on the current domestic gold price in Japan, the value has exceeded 2.5 billion yen, equivalent to more than 124.5 million yuan. Compared to when this gold nugget was manufactured in 2005, it has increased by more than five times in 18 years.
Affected by the depreciation of the Japanese yen and other factors, the retail price of gold in Japan has been continuously rising recently. This week, it once rose to 10105 yen per gram, about 503 yuan, setting a new historical high.
Under the depreciation of the Japanese yen, the domestic inflation situation in Japan is still ongoing, and more and more Japanese people are inclined to invest in gold to combat inflation, which has boosted the trading of gold and related products. In addition to physical gold, many people have opened gold investment accounts, and investment funds related to gold are also favored.
