Dam in Aichi Prefecture

0000-Sasado weir

The Sasado weir is an intake weir that leads water to the Sasado Power Plant about 6 to 7 km downstream from here. Therefore, the "Sasado" of Sasado weir seems to have been named after the power plant, not after the place. As proof of this, the area around this weir is called "Kowatari. / Gravity Concrete

1204-Umagajo Dam / Aichi, Japan

Looking at the dam handbook, I discovered that there is a municipal dam in Seto City. Moreover, I heard that a certain master could not go there, so I skipped the road I was used to driving and went there, to Magajo Dam. It is also a dam that has a dam version of the Expo 2005 Aichi Japan, and if I were the president of the Expo Association, I would make this the site of the Expo. / Gravity Concrete / 16.6m

1242-Iruka Ike / Aichi, Japan

I didn't know there was a dam in a place like this! I was honestly surprised. This dam is located next to "Meiji-mura," which is usually visited by people who grew up in Aichi Prefecture on social tours. Please be assured that you do not need to pay an admission fee to the Meiji-Mura when you visit the dam. / Rockfill / 25.7m

0000-hyakketsu dam/duzuki dam

To reach Momotsuki Dam, drive National Route 153 toward Asuke if you are coming from Toyota City, and go straight north on Prefectural Route 11 without crossing the Hirado Bridge. It is not a dam in the narrow sense of the word, as the embankment height is no more than 15 meters. / Gravity Concrete

0000-asuri dam

When driving along the upper reaches of the Yahagi River on Prefectural Road 11 from Toyota City, you will see it on your right. The dam (weir) is small in size but has a distinctive red gate. The dam (weir) is equipped with a fish passage, which seems to be environmentally friendly, but it is unknown how many fish actually pass through it. Since the height of the embankment is less than 15 m, it is treated as a weir. / Gravity Concrete

3126-Kise Dam

It is a relatively new dam and has basic facilities as it is "open to the community". As a small dam, I personally did not expect much, but it seems to be a good spot to enjoy barbecue parties and fishing. / Gravity Concrete / 33m
Dam in Aichi Prefecture

122-Habu Dam

There is a parking lot, but all of them were full, so we parked at the top end. Come to think of it, this is the only dam where you can park at the top end. The toilet is not available unless you go to the boat ramp, but it may be a bit far away. / Gravity Concrete / 62.5m

1223-Hatsutachi-ike Pond

This dam is located near Irago, famous for Toson Shimazaki's "Palm Fruit," and is the final reservoir for the Toyokawa River water supply. The Toyokawa Irrigation Project was initiated to alleviate the chronic shortage of water in the Higashimikawa region. Although the dam is not very large in scale, it plays an important role in alleviating water shortages in the Higashimikawa region. / earth / 22.5m

1199-Koshido Dam

The area around the dam is called "Kanpachi Gorge," which used to be a scenic spot famous for its cherry blossoms. However, although there are remnants of the old days, the area is not as bustling as it used to be, and it is deserted. Even cars speeding down the national highway pass through here without a care in the world. At most, people come here to take a walk or go jogging. / Gravity Concrete / 22.8m

1230-Tominaga Dam

It is small in scale and is not even shown on maps, so it is a dam that stands quietly and unnoticed. The Kuroda Dam and the Yahagi Dam are conspicuous, making it look like a middle-management window-dweller. / Gravity Concrete / 32.5m

1231-Kuroda Dam

If you are coming from the Nagoya area, turn right at the Odaki intersection on Route 153. The dam itself is very large and there are many points of interest, so it is best to take your time. / Gravity Concrete / 45.2m
Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1235-Oshima Dam

I should say that the interaction with the local people was a more valuable experience than the dam itself. When I was covering a dam and taking pictures, people usually looked at me suspiciously because I was not taking pictures in a commemorative way, but I had never been talked to before, so it was a good experience. I had never had anyone talk to me before, so it was a good experience for me. / Gravity Concrete / 69.4m

1219-Uren Dam/Uredam

Drive National Route 151 and turn onto Prefectural Route 424. There is a signboard on the way, so you should be fine. The dam itself is a popular tourist attraction because of the nearby "Nyuiwa Gorge," which is famous for its strange rocks and megaliths. / Gravity Concrete / 65m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

1021-Kobushi Dam

The Kosibu Dam is the first arch-type dam in the Chubu region. It has been a long time since the Kurobe Dam, and this was my first visit to a large arch-type dam. However, on this day, maintenance work was being carried out on the gates, so we could not go beyond the center of the top edge... There are 5 crest gates, 2 coaster gates, and 2 conduit gates. / Arch / 105m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

1010-Miwa Dam / Nagano Pref.

The lower right bank was completely dried up and what looked like an incline in the back was not functioning. The real problem is not so much that it has dried up, but rather that the sediment is very bad. / Gravity Concrete / 69.1m
Dam in Aichi Prefecture

3042-Ameyamatamu

The facilities are standard, but very quiet. The access road is not well-developed, and it is not listed on some maps, or is not prominent at all. It is a hidden character in the Mikawa region. / Gravity Concrete / 21.5m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

1024-Matsugawa Dam

The composting problem unique to the Tenryu River system is also present in this Matsukawa Dam. Currently, the Matsukawa Dam redevelopment project is underway. There were signs about it here and there along the road leading to the Matsukawa Dam. / Gravity Concrete / 84.3m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

1017-Susohana Dam

The season is February. It was the middle of winter. Although this is my favorite winter dam, there were avalanches here and there on the road, and the dam site and top edge were completely frozen, creating a dangerous atmosphere. Three radial gates can be seen in the crest section. / Arch / 83m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

1008-Taira Dam

A dam dedicated to power generation along Route 19. It was not on the map, but can be easily found because it is along Route 19. There are 5 roller gates. / Gravity concrete / 19.5m
Nagano Prefecture Dam

0993-Mizunai Dam/Minochi Dam

It is characterized by gates that line the entire width of the river. The dam has a long history and was completed before the end of the Pacific War. It is still in service more than half a century later! / Gravity Concrete / 25.3m
