0000-Yokosawagawa Daiichi Weir

The weir is less than 15m in length, and without detailed data such as specifications, it would normally be an indigestible property, but this is a weir that is tasteful enough just to look at. We hope you will enjoy the real thing. / U15 (weir)

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

3596-Yokosawagawa River No.2 Dam/Yokosawagawa River Dam

The Yokosawagawa No. 2 Dam is owned by Chubu Electric Power Company and is dedicated to power generation. The water collected at this dam is sent to the Oigawa Power Station. It is very compact, with an embankment height of 18.5m. The top of the embankment is only 39.8m long. Moreover, it is an old-fashioned dam built before World War II. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 18.5m

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

3014-Ohtagawa Dam

The Ota River Dam is a gravity-fed concrete dam operated by Shizuoka Prefecture and was completed in 2008. I expected to see the pure white embankment, but it was a little too dark. I would like to revisit the dam again someday and report on it. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 70m

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

1228-Kisogawa weir (Magai headworks)

Although the Kiso River weir is more conspicuous for its role as a bridge (it is often referred to as the Umakai Bridge), I have a renewed awareness that it plays a major role in providing a stable supply of water not only to western Aichi Prefecture, where I live, but also to Mie Prefecture. / weir / 4.2m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1322-Yamamura Dam

The Yamamura Dam is an earth dam for industrial water use that also serves the purpose of preventing land subsidence due to pumping of groundwater. However, perhaps its greatest feature is that the Ise Bay Expressway runs right in front of it downstream. Without the expressway, it might have ended up as a mere earth dam. / Earth dam / 37m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1315-Isaka Dam/Isaka Dam

The Isaka Dam is located in Yokkaichi City, one of Japan's leading industrial cities, and is an earth dam built by Mie Prefecture for the very purpose of developing its industry. It is very impressive that it is used as a place of relaxation for the citizens. It's hard to find such a lovely earth! / Earth dam / 34.5m

1326-Kasato Adjustment Pond/Kasato Chosei-chi

The Kasato Regulating Pond is a sloped core-zone fill dam constructed by the then Japan Water Development Corporation (now the Japan Water Agency) as the final regulating site for the Mie Irrigation System. Although it is an earth dam, it is also a unique dam with a low, long conduit like a space battleship. / Earth dam / 28.7m

Hirao No. 1 Reservoir, also known as Hirao No. 1 Dam, is an irrigation-only earth dam adjacent to the water capital Ogaki City, and exists behind Hirao No. 2 Reservoir. Also named No. 1, but this one is smaller in scale than No. 2 and, conversely, is its little brother. / Earth dam / 19.9m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1051-Hirao No.2 Reservoir/Hirao No.2 Tameike

Hirao No. 2 Reservoir, also known as Hirao No. 2 Dam, is an irrigation-only earth dam adjacent to the water capital Ogaki City. The road may not be listed on your car navigation system, so it would be better to print out a map in advance using Dammaps, etc., or refer to it if you have access to a map on your smart phone or other device. / Earth Dam / 25m

The Fuwa Hokubu Disaster Prevention Dam is located in Tarui Town, close to the Sekigahara Battlefield, and is an earth dam for flood control under the jurisdiction of Gifu Prefecture. It is large for an earth dam, and is an interesting dam with many interesting features. / Earth dam / 42.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1048-Otani Ike/Otani Pond

Otani Pond, located near Sekigahara in the Tenka area, is an earth dam owned by Gifu Prefecture and dedicated to irrigation. It gives the impression of being larger in scale in appearance than in number. Also nearby is the Asakurazan Shinzenin Temple, an old Tendai sect temple, with its three-story pagoda, a national important cultural property. History buffs, too, are welcome here! / Earth Dam / 18.7m

Completed in 1935, before the war, the Kamidake Dam is an old dam dedicated to power generation owned by Ibiden Corporation, based in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, which mainly deals with printed circuit boards and ceramic products. Even after renovation work was completed, it is still a concrete dam with an old-fashioned appearance. / Gravity concrete dam / 20m

2446-Nagatani Dam / Fukuoka, Japan

The Hase Dam is a waterworks-only dam in Fukuoka City, operated by the Fukuoka Municipal Government. It has a dam lake, which is difficult to read "Mikazuki-no-Umi" (Lake Mikazuki), and even though it is a water supply dam, it is an unusual dam that pumps up water from downstream to store it. / Gravity concrete dam / 53.8m

1176-Okuno Dam / Shizuoka Prefecture

Okuno Dam is a prefectural rockfill dam located in Ito City, Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka. It is a multi-purpose dam built to protect the city of Ito.

1364-Ozuchi Dam

The Aodo Dam is a versatile rock-fill dam operated by Shiga Prefecture with a flood discharge resembling a "dam pit" that is unique in the world. The park, called "Aodo-Dam Echo Valley," offers camping, barbecues, fishing, and other activities.

0583-Snake River Dam / Sabigawa Dam

The Snake River Dam is a dam that functions as a pumped storage reservoir for pumped storage power generation with the Yashio Dam. The public is not allowed to enter...rather, to get to this dam, you have to go through a tunnel to pass through the power station, so you cannot go straight to the dam in effect. / Gravity concrete dam / 104m

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

0582-Yashio Dam/Yashiodamu

The Yashio Dam is a rare asphalt-facing fill dam that uses asphalt as an impermeable wall, and functions as an upper reservoir for pumped-storage power generation with the Snake River Dam. It is a rare type of asphalt-facing fill dam that uses asphalt as its barrier wall. This article introduces the site and the Shiobara Power Plant, which is located underground. / Asphalt-facing fill dam / 90.5m

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

0571-kawaji dam

It is the fourth tallest arch dam in Japan, and the catwalk can be visited. It is indeed a dam full of attractions. Of course, it is not only a sight to see, but it also works wonderfully and is an important base for protecting the downstream Kinugawa River. Protecting the Kinu River means protecting the urban areas downstream. We must not forget that. / Arch dam / 140m

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

0563-kawamata dam

Kawamata Dam is the longest vertical arch dam in Japan, tucked away in the midst of nature. It is also characterized by its compactness and various structures in a narrow space. The details here and there on the embankment are eye-catching. Also, since it is a long walk from the parking lot, it is a physical challenge to visit. / Arch dam / 117m

2010.11.25

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

0578-Kuriyama Dam/Kuriyama Dam

Kuriyama Dam is a rockfill dam that functions as an upper reservoir for pumped-storage power generation with Imaichi Dam (0579-Imaichi Dam/Imaichi Dam) as a lower reservoir. The dam is interesting on the way to the dam, as it is visible after passing through a pasture, its gate, and a tunnel. It is recommended for driving, hiking, mountain climbing, etc. / Rockfill dam / 97.5m
