Sakuma Dam (at the time of construction)

The Sakuma Dam at the time of its construction, which can be seen in Project X more than the Kurobe Dam. In this feature page, we have received special permission from the manager of the website "Cloth and Wood Workshop "Garakuta"" run by a Shizuoka resident, and have included some valuable photos from the Sakuma Dam construction period. Please note that I have not read the Sakuma Dam Construction Journal or other materials, so there may be many errors in the explanatory text. Please understand that there may be many errors.

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

1160-Sakuma Dam

Without this dam, we can't talk about Kurobe Dam! It is a very famous dam. At the time of its construction, it boasted the highest embankment height and the largest amount of electricity generated in Japan. The design of the water intake also has a retro atmosphere. The Sakuma Dam was completed in three years, instead of 10 years, using second-hand large construction equipment imported from the United States. This is also said to be the first of its kind in Japan. / Gravity concrete dam / 155.5m
