Shin Jinma

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.

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

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1291-Mochikoshi Pond

I remember the weather was quite bad and it rained on and off, sometimes very hard. I think it is unavoidable because it rains a lot in this area, but I would prefer sunny days if at all possible. However, rainy days are not so bad either, as they have their own charm. / earth / 16m

1175-Miyakoda River Dam/Miyakoda River Dam

This dam was guided by Mr. Abebe. I remember it was unusually hot in July. / Rockfill / 55m

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

1220-Miyoshiike/Miyoshiike

The dam itself is small, but the lake is large in comparison. The dam lake is used as a training ground for canoeing, and competitions are held there from time to time. The gymnasium is also located next to the dam, indicating that the entire area is planned to be a comprehensive sports park. / earth / 19.7m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1403-Amagase Dam

I visited this dam after I went to "Lake Biwa Wan Wan Kingdom" because it was going to be closed. It is a very old-fashioned dam, just like Kyoto. Byodoin Temple is very close to the dam, so it would be a good idea to visit there as well. By the way, there is another dam called "Kisenyama Dam" nearby, but unfortunately you cannot enter. / Arch / 73m

Kyoto Prefecture Dam

1407-Hiyoshi Dam

The Hiyoshi Dam was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize in 1999. The design is well integrated with the surrounding area and is very well maintained, more so than any other dam I have seen. It is no wonder that architect Norihiko Dan designed this dam. There is so much to see and do at this dam. However, I was very disappointed that I visited on a day when the museum was closed. I would like to visit again at a later date. / Gravity Concrete / 67.4m

Kyoto Prefecture Dam

1573-Hase Dam / Nara Pref.

The name of this dammed lake was solicited from a local elementary school in Sakurai City, and it is called "Mahoroba Lake. Maybe if I were a snot-nosed elementary school student, I would not have thought of it. / Gravity Concrete / 55m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1569-Tenri Dam

The word "Tenri" reminds me of "Tenrikyo." I remember being taken to the headquarters as a child and kneeling in the hallway where the great monks passed by.... I also remember being treated well by the lady of the Tenrikyo Bunkyo-kai in my neighborhood, so I have a connection with Tenri in some way. So, I visited Tenri for the first time in about 20 years. Oyasama Miki must have been surprised to find that the place she visited for the first time in a long time was a dam. / Gravity Concrete / 60.5m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1568-Murodam

Muro Village is dotted with famous old temples, Muro-ji, Ono-ji, and Hase-ji. In the midst of these temples is this huge man-made structure, the Muro Dam. The crimson gate of the dam is very impressive, but the sights are a bit scarce. / Gravity Concrete / 63.5m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1577-Kamitsu Dam / Nara Pref.

I took Meihan National Highway (Route 25) to visit Universal Studios Japan, and I stopped by on my way home. The approach to the site is relatively easy to find, as you can see the signboard when you get off the Yamazoe IC of the Meihan National Highway and drive west on Nara Prefectural Road No. 80. / Gravity Concrete / 63.5m

Nara Prefecture Dam

0000-Setagawaraizeki

The history of the Seta River, including Lake Biwa, is the history of flood control. The history of the Seta River, including that of Lake Biwa, is a history of flood control, and it is a very complicated one, so I cannot talk about it eloquently. There is Ishiyama Temple near the Seta River weir, which is associated with Murasaki Shikibu, and further upstream, the remains of the old Seta River weir (Nango weir) still remain on the left bank of the river.

1361-Eigenji Dam / Shiga Prefecture

Eigenji-cho, where Eigenji Dam is located, is home to Eigenji Temple, which gave the dam its name, and is also famous for its autumn foliage. On the day of our visit, it was still too early to call it autumn, and the leaves were just beginning to change color. Eigenji Dam is also located along the Happu Highway R421. / Gravity concrete-fill combined dam / 73.5m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1351-Inukami River Dam

From the Hikone IC, take National Route 306 south, pass through Taga-taisha Shrine, and drive along a long, narrow prefectural road until you see the Inukami Dam. The village downstream of the Inukami Dam has a very nice atmosphere. However, despite the atmosphere, there are about three men on a motor scooter blowing a cigarette on the embankment... / Gravity Concrete / 45m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

0000-kyokutani dam/magatani dam

Located downstream of the Anegawa Dam, it can be found on the way to the downstream park of the Anegawa Dam. I originally did not know this dam existed, but it is as if I discovered it during my coverage of the Anegawa Dam. However, it is well fenced in and quite closed. / Gravity concrete / 9.9m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1365-Anegawa Dam

Ibuki-cho is located at the foot of the famous Mt. Ibuki, and the Anegawa Dam is deep within the town. As you can see, the silver grass was growing taller and the autumn leaves were just starting to change color on the mountains, making it a bit chilly. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 80.5m
