an island belonging to Japan, lying 32 m. W. of Niigata, on 38° N., 138° 30' E. It has a circumference of 130 m., an area of 336 sq. m. and a population of 113,000. The port is Ebisa, on the east coast; and at a distance of 162 m., near the west coast, is the town of Aikawa, having in its vicinity gold and silver mines, for which Sado is famous.
