Shin Jinma

1580-Nunome Dam

This is a multi-purpose dam under the jurisdiction of the Japan Water Agency, completed in 1992, with parks and other recreational facilities. Perhaps because it was as cold as winter, there were no visitors in spite of various improvements. I heard that black bass can be caught in the dam lake. I would like to bring a lure. I heard that it is also a marathon course and even better for road biking. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 72m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1405-Takayama Dam

The Takayama Dam is a gravity-type arch dam, which is rare in that it is both a gravity-type and arch-type dam. The embankment is quite thick, giving it an impressive sense of solidity. The words "manly" and "solid and sturdy" seem to fit the dam. This time, I came to see not only the dam but also the ume (plum) grove in Tsukigase, which is located upstream of the dam. / Gravity arch dam / 67m

Kyoto Prefecture Dam

3083-Nakanoho Dam

A new Gifu prefectural dam completed in 2005. This Nakanokata Dam can be seen when you go north from the Kasagi Dam. At the time of the interview, water was leaking from the embankment. The peaceful landscape of a farming village spreads out just below the embankment. It sits on top of the landscape as if it were spreading its wings. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 41.7m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1063-Kasagi Dam / Gifu Prefecture

The rows and rows of neatly arranged gates are very impressive. It is an old dam built before World War II, but it would have been difficult for prewar engineers to create such an old-fashioned formative beauty. Incidentally, it has been selected as one of "Japan's Modern Civil Engineering Heritage: 2000 Important Civil Engineering Structures in Existence. / Gravity concrete dam / 40.8m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1092-Takeori Disaster Prevention Dam

This is a rather eccentric earth dam with a road in the center of the embankment, standing quietly so as not to be noticed as a dam. The distance between the flood discharge ramp and the bridge is short, so when the water is discharged, you will be able to see it very closely. I don't think a large amount of water will be discharged, but in the event of a large flood, it may turn into a roadside river. / Earth dam / 17.2m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1236-Bamba Adjustment Pond

Although it is not possible to approach the dam, it is quite an interesting property. It is a good idea to also visit the water exhibition hall and Mt. It is an unusual dam with a rectangular shape. I don't know how to take pictures of it. It is an asphalt-facing dam, which means that the barrier wall is covered with asphalt, which is a little unusual. / Asphalt-facing fill dam / 28.6m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1237-Ohara Adjustment Pond

It is located between the Mikkaichi Interchange and Toyokawa Interchange on the Tomei Expressway, so even those who are not interested in dams will probably think, "Oh, that's it," if they have ever driven through the expressway. That is the Ohara Adjustment Pond. On some maps, it is referred to as the Ohara Dam. The Ohara Regulating Pond serves as a regulating reservoir for the Toyokawa River water supply. / Rockfill dam / 47.9m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

0769-cassadam/kassadamu

We are pleased to participate in the "4th Dam Web Ring Kassa Dam Off-line Meeting" and this event was made possible by the cooperation of Denpatsu Kaihatsu (hereinafter referred to as Denpatsu). So, the Kassa Dam is accessed from the road at the back of the Mitsumata area parking lot of the Kagura Ski Resort. / Rockfill dam / 90m

Niigata Prefecture Dam

0773-Nii Dam

The lower dam, where pumped-storage power is generated between the upper dam, Kassa Dam, and the Nii Dam, is the Nii Dam. If you are coming from Gunma, drive north on the Mikuni Kaido road for a while after entering Niigata Prefecture, and you will see a sign on your right hand side. This is a great area for a drive, so please stop by. / Rockfill dam / 87m

Niigata Prefecture Dam

0606-Aimata Dam

Despite the small size of the dam, the facilities are quite extensive. Of course, there are many things to see and do. National Route 17 runs along the side of the dam lake, which was also called Mikuni Kaido in the old days, and it is said that Kenshin Uesugi also passed through here. Nearby is Sarugakyo Onsen, which would be a good base for sightseeing and touring the dam. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 67m

0623-Naramata Dam

When that huge dike covers your field of vision, you are already in a world of amazement. How could such a man-made structure exist so deep in the mountains! Incidentally, the Tokuyama Dam was the largest embankment in Japan before it was completed. It is now the second largest, but it is so huge that it doesn't matter anymore. Compared to the Tokuyama Dam, where you cannot go directly under the embankment, the Naramata Dam is a more friendly dam. / Rockfill dam / 158m

0612-Yagisawa Dam

The Yagisawa Dam is an arch-type dam in the Okutone Dam Group, and it boasts of its gigantic size. It is the Yagisawa Dam. It is built in a secluded area of Okutone, and no one is allowed to enter beyond this point. / Arch / 131m

0602-Sudagai Dam

The Sudagai Dam is a power generation dam located at the junction of the Naramata Dam and the Yagisawa Dam. When the dam was completed in the Showa period (1926-1989), it was named Naramata Dam, but the upstream Naramata Dam changed only the letters in consideration of the existing Naramata Dam. But in the end, the Naramata Dam, which was the senior dam, changed its name to the Sudagai Dam because it sounded the same and was confusing. So it is a dam that loves its little brother. / Gravity Concrete / 72m

0605-Fujiwara Dam

Fujiwara Dam is the first high dam in the Okutone Dam complex. Although it has the use of power generation, it is not a stand-alone dam, but a pumped storage power generation dam with the upper dam, Tamahara Dam, and Fujiwara Dam is the lower dam. I saw this figure first from the downstream side, so I came straight to the downstream side. It is nice to be able to get a shot from the downstream side. / Gravity Concrete / 95m

0598-komori dam

The entire embankment is overflowing, and when the river is full of water, it creates a magnificent "sudare discharge" because of the natural overflow. It was lucky for us to see the discharge because there are days when the water volume is low and the dam does not discharge water. As you head upstream of the Tone River from this dam, high dams appear one after another, so it is recommended that you aim further upstream. / Gravity Concrete / 33m

0624-Yamba Dam

Entering Gunma from the Nagano Prefecture side, passing near Kusatsu Onsen, I had originally planned to go directly to the planned Yamba Dam construction site, but I noticed a public relations facility called the Yanbakan and made a hasty stop. The Yamba Dam has always been questioned as to whether it should be built or not, and even today it is a major issue that appears in newspaper articles, even in newspapers in the central part of Japan. / Gravity Concrete / 116m

1331-hasudamu

Oh man. Four years have passed since I visited this dam and my memory is quite fuzzy. I wonder how much I can remember. The lotus dam is one of those hard-to-read dams that is hard to read as "Hachisudamu". It was completed in 1991, and although it is located deep in the mountains, it has a lot to offer. / Gravity concrete / 78m

Mami Ofu Day 2 / Mami Ofu Futsukame (2005/08/15)

Mami-Ofu" is the name of the off-line meeting, which stands for "Mamari, Minna-minna, Maruyama, Shitamashimashita". Incidentally, the godfather of the name is Abey-san of "Cat no Yugon" fame. As the name suggests, the idea was to relax and see the Maruyama Dam in Gifu together. This page shows the second day of the off-line meeting. This page reports on the second day of the meeting from the organizer's point of view.

Mamie Off Day 1 / Mamie Off Day 1 (2005/08/14)

Mami-Ofu" is the name of the off-line meeting, which stands for "Mamari, Minna-minna, Maruyama, Shitamashimashita". Incidentally, the godfather is Abey-san of "Cat no Yugon" fame. As the name suggests, the idea was to relax and see the Maruyama Dam in Gifu together. This page is a report of the first day of the off-line meeting. In this page, I would like to report on the first day of the off-line meeting from the viewpoint of the organizer. The reason why we chose Maruyama Dam is because it is a representative dam of the Chubu area, and because it will disappear in the future with the construction of the new Maruyama Dam.

Off-line meeting/event report

1306-Miyagawa Dam

The area is full of nature, and there is even a campground. In addition, there are 1,000 cherry trees planted around the dam lake, and a sightseeing boat on the dam lake...it has become a tourist attraction, but I could not feel the atmosphere in this weather. I would like to go back on a fine day. / Gravity Concrete / 88.5m
