Shizuoka Prefecture Dam0000-Yokosawagawa Daiichi Weir
The weir is less than 15m in length, and without detailed data such as specifications, it would normally be an indigestible property, but this is a weir that is tasteful enough just to look at. We hope you will enjoy the real thing. / U15 (weir)
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam3596-Yokosawagawa River No.2 Dam/Yokosawagawa River Dam
The Yokosawagawa No. 2 Dam is owned by Chubu Electric Power Company and is dedicated to power generation. The water collected at this dam is sent to the Oigawa Power Station. It is very compact, with an embankment height of 18.5m. The top of the embankment is only 39.8m long. Moreover, it is an old-fashioned dam built before World War II. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 18.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam3014-Ohtagawa Dam
The Ota River Dam is a gravity-fed concrete dam operated by Shizuoka Prefecture and was completed in 2008. I expected to see the pure white embankment, but it was a little too dark. I would like to revisit the dam again someday and report on it. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 70m
Dam in Aichi Prefecture1228-Kisogawa weir (Magai headworks)
Although the Kiso River weir is more conspicuous for its role as a bridge (it is often referred to as the Umakai Bridge), I have a renewed awareness that it plays a major role in providing a stable supply of water not only to western Aichi Prefecture, where I live, but also to Mie Prefecture. / weir / 4.2m

Dam in Mie Prefecture1322-Yamamura Dam
The Yamamura Dam is an earth dam for industrial water use that also serves the purpose of preventing land subsidence due to pumping of groundwater. However, perhaps its greatest feature is that the Ise Bay Expressway runs right in front of it downstream. Without the expressway, it might have ended up as a mere earth dam. / Earth dam / 37m
Dam in Mie Prefecture1315-Isaka Dam/Isaka Dam
The Isaka Dam is located in Yokkaichi City, one of Japan's leading industrial cities, and is an earth dam built by Mie Prefecture for the very purpose of developing its industry. It is very impressive that it is used as a place of relaxation for the citizens. It's hard to find such a lovely earth! / Earth dam / 34.5m
Dam in Mie Prefecture1326-Kasato Adjustment Pond/Kasato Chosei-chi
The Kasato Regulating Pond is a sloped core-zone fill dam constructed by the then Japan Water Development Corporation (now the Japan Water Agency) as the final regulating site for the Mie Irrigation System. Although it is an earth dam, it is also a unique dam with a low, long conduit like a space battleship. / Earth dam / 28.7m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture1052-Hirao No.1 Reservoir/Hiraoichigo-Utaimeike
Hirao No. 1 Reservoir, also known as Hirao No. 1 Dam, is an irrigation-only earth dam adjacent to the water capital Ogaki City, and exists behind Hirao No. 2 Reservoir. Also named No. 1, but this one is smaller in scale than No. 2 and, conversely, is its little brother. / Earth dam / 19.9m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture1051-Hirao No.2 Reservoir/Hirao No.2 Tameike
Hirao No. 2 Reservoir, also known as Hirao No. 2 Dam, is an irrigation-only earth dam adjacent to the water capital Ogaki City. The road may not be listed on your car navigation system, so it would be better to print out a map in advance using Dammaps, etc., or refer to it if you have access to a map on your smart phone or other device. / Earth Dam / 25m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture1122-Fuwa Hokubu Disaster Prevention Dam
The Fuwa Hokubu Disaster Prevention Dam is located in Tarui Town, close to the Sekigahara Battlefield, and is an earth dam for flood control under the jurisdiction of Gifu Prefecture. It is large for an earth dam, and is an interesting dam with many interesting features. / Earth dam / 42.5m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture1048-Otani Ike/Otani Pond
Otani Pond, located near Sekigahara in the Tenka area, is an earth dam owned by Gifu Prefecture and dedicated to irrigation. It gives the impression of being larger in scale in appearance than in number. Also nearby is the Asakurazan Shinzenin Temple, an old Tendai sect temple, with its three-story pagoda, a national important cultural property. History buffs, too, are welcome here! / Earth Dam / 18.7m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture1062-Kamigatake Dam
Completed in 1935, before the war, the Kamidake Dam is an old dam dedicated to power generation owned by Ibiden Corporation, based in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, which mainly deals with printed circuit boards and ceramic products. Even after renovation work was completed, it is still a concrete dam with an old-fashioned appearance. / Gravity concrete dam / 20m
