0833-narude dam

It is located on the border between Gifu and Toyama prefectures, northward on Route 156. I suddenly came across this dam during a trip to Kanazawa. I was happy to find such a strange dam, as it is not on any map I have. This area is intertwined with Gifu and Toyama prefectures, so the national highway changes from one prefecture to the other. This is an interesting experience that is difficult to experience if you live on the plains. / Gravity Concrete / 53.2m

1099-Oshirakawa Dam

The Ooshirakawa Dam is reached from the Mimogai Dam using Prefectural Road 451, which should be easy to find since it is the end of Prefectural Road 451. However, the prefectural road is narrow, so you need to be a little careful when passing through. The road is also closed in winter. The Ooshirakawa Hot Springs are located in front of the dam embankment and are crowded with many leisure travelers. The dam is located behind the hot spring. / Rockfill / 95m

1083-Asahi Dam

No one visits along the old road, which is far from the national highway. Moreover, the old road entrance on the other side of the dam is closed to traffic and can only be entered from one side, making it even more deserted. I would like to visit this dam in winter if possible. I think the road will be closed in a different way by then... This dam reminds me of the Akigami Dam in some way. When I came close to the dam, I thought it might be the Akigami Dam. It looks so similar to the Akigami Dam that I thought it might be the Akigami Dam when I came near it. / Gravity Concrete / 87m

1133-Kosato River Dam/Origawa Dam

...I regret that I should have taken more photos. Especially the inside of the administration building and the Korijo Bridge are important, aren't they? If I have a chance to go back, I will take pictures. Hi. I think the facility is good in all ◎ but. / Gravity Concrete / 114m

1059-Ochiai Dam

The second dam built on the Kiso River, located at the foot of Mt. It was awarded the "Japan's Modern Civil Engineering Heritage - 2000 Most Important Civil Engineering Structures in Existence". Ochiai Dam seems to be the second historical dam built on the Kiso River. Perhaps anecdotes around Daido Power Company and Momosuke Fukuzawa... / Gravity Concrete / 33.3m

1127-Agigawa Dam

By all means, drive around the dam lake as well as the embankment. There is a water park, putting golf course, cottages (I heard you can stay overnight), free tennis court (although no one uses it...), etc. It is very well-developed. I heard that you can eat Hida beef at the nearby Tono Farm. They also have a cave... / Rockfill / 101.5m

1227-Yahagi No.2 Dam/Yahagi Dam

Yahagi No. 2 Dam is located downstream from Yahagi No. 1 Dam. Since many runners and bikers drive along the lakeshore road, I hesitated to park every time and could not easily take pictures, but I took the plunge. The water in the dam lake is very muddy due to heavy rain until the previous day. / Gravity Concrete / 38m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1108-Yahagi Dam (Yahagi Daiichi Dam)

During the touring season, the number of motorcycles is very high and the number of visitors has increased considerably due to the recent dam boom. The embankment is also accessible to automobiles and serves as a bridge. Come to think of it, I once saw a "wild boar" near the dam around spring. Please be careful... / arch / 100m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1080-tsubakihara dam / Gifu Prefecture

A dam that is tightly gated. Like the Omaki Dam, I was only able to take one picture of this dam.... It was extremely difficult to take pictures because the gate is tightly closed as if the dam hates us. / Gravity Concrete / 68.2m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1106-Takane No.2 Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It can be found by driving National Route 361 east of Akigami Dam or west of Takane No. 1 Dam. The lower part of the dam is used for pumped storage power generation between the Takane No. 1 Dam and the Akigami Dam. / Hollow gravity concrete / 69m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1105-Takane Daiichi Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It is located along Route 361 between Takayama and Kisofukushima. When I went there, it was quite deserted with no one around. I guess you could call it an unexplored region. It is quite dangerous in winter. If you are not used to snow-covered roads, it is safer not to go there. / Arch / 133m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1088-Hatogaya Dam (Ohmaki Dam)

It is located 12-13 km north of Mimogi Dam on Route 156 in a straight line. Shirakawa-go, a famous World Heritage site with its Gassho-zukuri style of architecture, is nearby, and there are many sightseeing buses on the nearby roads. / Gravity Concrete / 63.2m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1095-Miboro Dam

I can think of no other rock-fill dams as good as this one, except for the Mimogai Dam and the Tedorigawa Dam. The dam side park on the downstream side of the dam is also magnificent, but I don't think you can really appreciate the enormity of the dam from there alone. The damside park located downstream of the dam is also magnificent, but you cannot get a sense of the enormity of the dam just from the damside park, so I highly recommend a visit to the embankment. / Rockfill / 131m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1097-Kuguno Dam

It is a very small dam that does not even appear on maps. It is also located along an old road, so it seems to stand quietly. The Kunano Dam seems to be managed remotely from the control center of the Akigami Dam. There was a telemeter-related device nearby. / Gravity Concrete / 26.7m

1085-Akigami Dam

To reach Akigami Dam this time, we took Prefectural Route 87 from Kunano Town on National Route 41, turned right at the intersection of Timely and drove along National Route 361. If the weather was fine, we could see Mt. Norikura in the vicinity of Kunano Town. The weather was calm and windless, and there were no waves on the surface of the lake, so I was able to photograph the "upside-down dam" instead of "upside-down Fuji. / Gravity Concrete / 74m

1070-Kaneyama Dam / Gifu Prefecture

To get to the dam, head toward Yaotsu-cho from National Route 41 at the Moriyama 3-chome intersection and drive along Prefectural Route 350, and you will see a signboard, making it easy to find. The dam is located downstream of the Maruyama Dam, and although it is not very high, the many gates are quite spectacular. / Gravity Concrete / 36.3m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1084-Maruyama Dam

The surrounding roads are narrow, so those who are not accustomed to narrow roads may have some difficulty. However, the road is being widened in connection with the construction of the new Maruyama Dam, so when the dam is completed, the area may be somewhat more crowded as a tourist attraction. If you want to visit the new Maruyama Dam, it is the best time to visit because it will be gone when the new dam is completed. / Gravity Concrete / 98.2m

2952-Iwamura Dam

The best rural scenery in Japan, a female lord of a castle...such an image is attached to Iwamura-cho. But I think "Japan's best farming village scenery" is an accurate description. The atmosphere is very tranquil, as an old man strolling near the dam casually greeted me. / Gravity Concrete / 35.8m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

3013-Ogadoho Dam

The park is very beautifully maintained, but even though it is close to the national highway, the access road is not very good, so there will probably be few tourists. Also, the access road is too narrow, and I felt that the dam site is not a place where one can enjoy nature to the fullest because it is too well maintained. / Gravity Concrete / 42.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1116-Iwaya Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It was just the time of year for autumn foliage, and the fiery red colored leaves were impressive. Living in the Chubu area, "Asuke" comes to mind when I think of autumn foliage, but I also recommend the traffic jam-free Iwaya Dam. / Rockfill / 127.5m
