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

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

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

1362-Usogawa Dam / Shiga Prefecture

Uzogawa Dam is located among the "Koto Sanzan" (three mountains in the Koto area): Ryueizan "Seimyoji Temple," Shobozan "Kongorinji Temple," and Shakayama "Hyakusaiji Temple," which are also famous for their autumn leaves. It may be a good idea to visit these temples when visiting the dam. Also, there are many national treasures and important cultural assets in the Koto Sanzan. / Rock fill / 56m

1314-Misetani Dam

We had heard that the dam was devastated by Typhoon No. 21 that struck in 2004. We conducted our interview under cloudy skies that seemed to bring back memories of the past. The building that was once the control center has completely rotted away. / Gravity Concrete / 39m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1330-Hinachi Dam

It is a thick-boned dam. But it is also somewhat feminine. It is a motherly dam. Well, here we are, at a dam in Mie Prefecture after a long absence, and it's 7:30 in the morning. It was 7:30 in the morning, and it had been a long time since I visited a dam in the morning. It was when the cherry blossoms were about to fall. Anyway, it is huge. It's been a long time since I've seen a gravity dam this big. / Gravity concrete / 70.5m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1316-Shorenji Dam

If you want a clear view downstream, bring your own stepladder. But be careful not to be mistaken for the Seirenji Dam. It looks somewhat like the slightly smaller Yahagi Dam or Amagase Dam. / Arch / 82m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

3263-Saingu Adjustment Pond

The Saigu Regulating Pond is planned to increase the water storage capacity by combining the Saigu Pond with the adjacent Soda Pond, which is scheduled to be completed by 2010, but at the time of this interview, construction had not yet begun. / Earth / 16m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1318-Kamiji Dam

Amano-Iwato, where Amaterasu is said to have shut herself away, is located further upstream from this dam. The weather is so bad that we think Amaterasu must have retreated to Amano-Iwato at this very moment.... / earth / 29.6m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1311-Yamasato Oike/Yamasato Oike

In the dam handbook, the location is listed as "Hokusei-cho Yamago," and the name of the place did not exist due to rezoning or something, but if you trace the name of the nearby Yamago Elementary School and pond on the map, the characters are different, but it is "皷" which probably refers to this place. / Earth / 22m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1300-Inabe Oike

The height of the embankment is just 15 meters, which is just barely the standard for a dam, but it exists as a place of recreation for the citizens of Inabe. Therefore, there were many visitors and many fishermen. I am very envious that there is such a park in the town. / Earth / 15m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1323-Nakazato Dam

Nakasato Dam is located near the source of water for the Mie Water Supply under the control of the Japan Water Agency (former Japan Water Development Corporation), and serves to guide water when the water in the Miyagawa, Komono, and Kasato dams' regulating reservoirs is insufficient. In other words, it is the parent of these dams. / Earth / 46m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

0000-Shimomura Dam

Kamiyasaki-cho was hit hard by the Tokai torrential rainfall in September 2000 (also known as the Enan torrential rainfall in some areas). The Shimomura Dam was originally a fixed weir, but it was replaced by a rubber dam after it was breached in addition to causing more damage from the torrential rain in Tokai. The height of the embankment is less than 15 meters, so technically it is not a dam, but we decided to include it here because it is rare. / Rubber dam / 4.3m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1074-Obuchi disaster prevention reservoir/Kobuchi Bousai Tameike

The prime minister is "Obuchi," but the dam is "Kobuchi. Moreover, on the map, it is called "Obuchi Dam," but in the dam handbook, it is called "Obuchi Disaster Prevention Reservoir. Incidentally, there is a dam called "Koizumi Dam" in Tajimi City, a neighbor of Kani City. And, to make matters tougher, there are two dams, No. 1 and No. 2. (This has nothing to do with this issue...) / Rockfill / 18.38m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1124-Tazawa disaster prevention dam

I am not sure if fishing is prohibited or not, but the bank is basically a no-go area. However, I don't think there are that many fish... This is a free overflow type of overflow discharge. It is a relatively simple structure. / earth / 29.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1098-Sakashima River Disaster Prevention Dam (Ryugin Dam)

It is like a large park and there are many things to see and do around the area. There is a waterfall, a cart driving range a short distance away, and the sound of explosions echoing all the way around the dam. I actually went to see the cart driving range, and when I found out it was a cart driving range, I thought, "What the heck...," but it was quite interesting just to watch. I highly recommend going to see it in combination with a visit to the dam. / Earth / 19.7m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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
