A dam where you can meet thick humanity and bees. Fukashiro Dam.
List of dams
Yamanashi Prefecture Dam
Yamanashi Prefecture Dam3107-Kazuno River Dam
The chalk dam at the end of the tunnel. The Kuzuno River Dam. It was very quiet and secluded. The dam was built using rock from excavation during the construction of tunnels and underground power plants as aggregate, making it an environmentally friendly dam deep in the mountains. / Gravity concrete dam / 105.2m
Yamanashi Prefecture Dam3106-Kami-hikawa Dam
Upper dam for pumped storage power generation. The effective drop-off between the lower dam and the upper dam is the largest in the world! Moreover, it is the dam with the best view of Mt. Kamihigawa Dam.
Yamanashi Prefecture Dam0969-Amahata Dam
The dam is owned by a private company called Nippon Light Metal Co. Nevertheless, this view from just below the embankment is very satisfying. Since the downstream is quiet and there are no waves, the embankment is reflected in the water like a mirror. The contrast is truly wonderful. It is a long way to go, but it is well worth the effort. / Arch dam / 80.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1167-Hatanagi No.2 Dam
Tennozan Dam on the Oigawa River. It is endlessly far away. And the road is endlessly bad. Therefore, driving fatigue reaches its peak when you reach here, so if you feel even a little tired, be sure to take a break! Since the road is not connected, you will have to make a U-turn at the Hatanagi No. 1 Dam ahead. You will have to return to the rough road you just came from, so you need to be prepared for that when you get here. You are on your own no matter what happens... / Hollow gravity concrete dam / 69m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1178-Nagashima Dam
A chalk residence under direct state control, open to the community! As a "dam open to the community," the Nagashima Dam is more open than most dams. I knew the name of the Nagashima Dam, but I had not done much research beforehand, so I had no idea that it was so full of sights. I would recommend that you allow plenty of time for your visit. / Gravity concrete dam / 109m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam0000-Nagashima Sand Dam
Nagashima Reservoir is a dam that you can see only if you ride Minami-Alps Aputo-line of Oigawa river railroad. But there are seats for river side and mountain side, so it is best to sit in the seat for river side. I was on the mountain side both on the way out and on the way back.... The best option is to go outside of the holiday season. / Gravity Concrete Dam
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1161-Okuizumi Dam
Chirarism Dam. Like the Oigawa Dam and the Sunmatagawa Dam, the road and the embankment were far apart as far as the map showed, so I had half given up looking at the Okuizumi Dam from a rule of thumb. However, on the way from Nagashima Dam to Igawa Dam, we suddenly found a sign that read "Okuizumi Dam ↓" and decided to go down the slope anyway, even though it was a suspicious slope... / Gravity concrete dam / 44.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1162-Ikawa Dam
Oigawa Cathedral "Igawa Dam". The Igawa Dam is the first hollow gravity concrete dam in Japan and the second-highest embankment dam of its type after the Hatanagi No. 1 Dam. / Hollow gravity concrete / 103.6m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1153-Oigawa Dam
A small but well-lit dam. We covered the Oigawa Dam after the "3rd Dam Web Ring Playboy Off-line Meeting - Goro-chan's Stomach Exploration Tour" was over. We were not able to make this dam come true during our previous coverage of the Oigawa River system, but thanks to our site's customers and the participants of the off-line meeting, we were able to photograph it this way. / Gravity concrete dam / 33.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1157-Sakaigawa Dam
Either you want us to see it or you don't want us to see it! And the dam is off-limits inside the top end, which is a bit half-baked. / Gravity Concrete / 34.2m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam0000-Shiogo Dam
This river flow is very important for local residents in terms of preventing desertification of the river. And a small but important dam (weir). / Gravity concrete dam / 3.2m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1166-Sasama River Dam
Kawane hot springs and a roadside station are nearby dams where you can see the SL of Oigawa Railway. Maybe a footbath after a stroll would be nice. This dam is used for power generation by Chubu Electric Power Company, and water taken from the Shiogo Dam on the main stream of the Oigawa River also flows here. / Gravity concrete dam / 46.35m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1170-Harano valley river dam
A working "dry dam" to control flooding. However, there was plenty of water, perhaps because it was the season of melting snow. I would have liked to see a dry dam, but the dam was functioning well. / Gravity concrete dam / 31m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1174-Funaki Dam/Funagira Dam
The area around the embankment has been turned into an athletic park. It is a small dam, but a picnic with like-minded friends and family is a good idea. The lowest power generation dam of the rampaging Tenryu. / Gravity concrete dam / 24.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1163-Akiba Dam
The power generation dam on the Tenryu River, which has a suspension bridge downstream and can be viewed directly from the bridge. As for the reading of this dam, some people involved in power supply development read it as "Akiha," while others pronounce it muddled as "Akiba," so which is true.... In the Japan Dam Association's dam handbook, it is "Akiha. Well, let's leave it as "Akiha". / Gravity concrete dam / 89m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1171-Misakubo Dam
Abandoned concession stands, dilapidated gates, falling rocks seen everywhere.... The dam is full of danger. The toilets are also in a state of neglect. This desolate atmosphere is a nice touch (heart)! Lonely and abandoned dam! / Rockfill / 105.0m
Shizuoka Prefecture DamSakuma Dam (at the time of construction)
The Sakuma Dam at the time of its construction, which can be seen in Project X more than the Kurobe Dam. In this feature page, we have received special permission from the manager of the website "Cloth and Wood Workshop "Garakuta"" run by a Shizuoka resident, and have included some valuable photos from the Sakuma Dam construction period. Please note that I have not read the Sakuma Dam Construction Journal or other materials, so there may be many errors in the explanatory text. Please understand that there may be many errors.
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1160-Sakuma Dam
Without this dam, we can't talk about Kurobe Dam! It is a very famous dam. At the time of its construction, it boasted the highest embankment height and the largest amount of electricity generated in Japan. The design of the water intake also has a retro atmosphere. The Sakuma Dam was completed in three years, instead of 10 years, using second-hand large construction equipment imported from the United States. This is also said to be the first of its kind in Japan. / Gravity concrete dam / 155.5m
Dam in Toyama Prefecture0824-Obara Dam/Obara Dam
From the Gokayama IC on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, drive east on Route 156. There is also a PR exhibition hall nearby, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to cover it.... / Gravity Concrete / 52m
