Ancient gold and silver mine.
Gold and silver were contained in quartz veins in andesite.

There were three main adit and one outcrop in Togi Mine:
- Togo (Tou-gou) adit : 0.0356%Au(max), 0.0270%Ag(max)
- Shimamura adit : west of Togo adit.
- Kanpeishiki adit : 0.0005%Au(max), 0.0009%Ag(max)
- Kaidou outcrop : east of Togo adit.
(Au and Ag content was based on record in 1906.)
