1104-Ijira Tameike

Date of interview：2013/8/16(Fri.) I was on my way back to my wife's parents' house for the Obon vacation on that day, but I decided to visit unvisited dams in the Seino region of Gifu Prefecture, so I went to the Fujikogawa Dam first and then moved to this Ijira Tameike. Both dams are a bit far from each other, but Exif records show...

1057-Oi Dam

The Oi Dam is a gravity concrete dam dedicated to power generation, built by Momosuke Fukuzawa, the son-in-law of Yukichi Fukuzawa and founder of Daido Power Company. The dam was built in the Taisho Era (1912-1926), giving it a sense of Taisho Romanticism. The dam lake formed by the Oi Dam on the Kiso River has since become a tourist attraction in the Tokai region as "Ena Gorge. / Gravity concrete dam / 53.4m

1052-Hirao No.1 Reservoir/Hiraoichigo-Utaimeike

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

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

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

1126-Kawaura Dam/Kaore Dam

In many ways, I'm sorry if I got your hopes up! The Kawaura Dam is located upstream of the Kami-Osu Dam. The dam lake formed by the Kawaura Surabu Dam and this dam together is the upper regulating reservoir (upper pond), and the dam lake formed by the Kami-Osu Dam is the lower regulating reservoir (lower pond), and pumped storage power is generated between them. The effective drop-off is said to be as high as 486 meters.

1128-atagi dam

The Gifu prefectural dam is located in Shirotori, Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, a mecca for ski resorts. When I arrived at the embankment, alone and disheartened, to my surprise, water was being discharged from the orifice! There is a parking lot and a park, but I am not sure if it is still possible to take a proper tour. Even if you go there, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to see it. Especially in the middle of winter when it snows heavily, you can't see it at all. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 71.4m

1056-Takahashidani Dam

This is a power generation dam owned by Chubu Electric Power Company that stands quietly. The dam looks very old. According to the dam handbook, it was completed in 1919. In Japanese calendar, it was completed in 1919. It is the year of the Treaty of Versailles. It is not suitable for a date, but it looks like it could be used for fishing. It is good for a fishing date. It is also OK if you like old prewar buildings. / Gravity concrete dam / 18.5m

3083-Nakanoho Dam

A new Gifu prefectural dam completed in 2005. This Nakanokata Dam can be seen when you go north from the Kasagi Dam. At the time of the interview, water was leaking from the embankment. The peaceful landscape of a farming village spreads out just below the embankment. It sits on top of the landscape as if it were spreading its wings. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 41.7m

1063-Kasagi Dam / Gifu Prefecture

The rows and rows of neatly arranged gates are very impressive. It is an old dam built before World War II, but it would have been difficult for prewar engineers to create such an old-fashioned formative beauty. Incidentally, it has been selected as one of "Japan's Modern Civil Engineering Heritage: 2000 Important Civil Engineering Structures in Existence. / Gravity concrete dam / 40.8m

1092-Takeori Disaster Prevention Dam

This is a rather eccentric earth dam with a road in the center of the embankment, standing quietly so as not to be noticed as a dam. The distance between the flood discharge ramp and the bridge is short, so when the water is discharged, you will be able to see it very closely. I don't think a large amount of water will be discharged, but in the event of a large flood, it may turn into a roadside river. / Earth dam / 17.2m

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

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
