Date of report：2013/04/29 (Mon.) We traveled from the Masudani Dam to the Eiheiji Dam. It was a random route, so if I had planned the itinerary in advance, this probably would not have happened. Eiheiji Dam is located behind Eiheiji Temple, the head temple of the Soto sect of Buddhism.

March 2013 Kii Peninsula Dam Tour (Ichinoki Dam - Ikehara Dam)

This course can be described as an ironic course. It can be said to be a course where one is full of hunger after eating only the main dish of many old-fashioned dams and an arch dam at the end. It is also one of the rainiest areas in the country, and has been plagued by frequent heavy rains....
