Dam in Mie Prefecture

1320-Katada Dam

Date of interview: 06/08/2014 (Sunday) I came to Katada Dam in Tsu City because there is a dam in Mie Prefecture that has a moco dam. Actually, I had visited there on May 31 of the same year, but was not able to enter that day and had to revisit the following week. At Ichi Masubin, a famous yakiniku restaurant in Mie...

1319-Midorodamu

Date of report：2013/11/9 (Sat)On the way to Kawakami Dam before starting the construction of the main body, I visited this Madori Dam after Takeya Pond and Teratani Pond. It is a bit difficult to read. Since the Madori Dam is also an earth dam, it was the third earth dam we visited that day. At the beginning of the day, we saw the upstream face of the embankment...

1297-Teratani Pond

Date: 11/9/2013 (Sat)On the way to the tour of Kawakami Dam in Mie Prefecture before the construction of the main body of the dam started, I visited Teradani Pond next to Takeya Pond. Teradani Pond is also an irrigation reservoir and earth dam in Iga City. The approach to the dam is a short walk to the embankment, but you may get lost...

1307-Takeya Pond/Taketani Ike

Date of interview: 11/9/2013 (Sat.) Since there was a tour at Kawakami Dam in Mie Prefecture on that day before the construction of the main body started, I decided to visit the unvisited dams before moving to the site. Takeya Pond was the first dam of the day. A little further in from the Iga Drive-in on the Meihan National Highway (R25)...

1317-Kimigano Dam

Date of report：2013/07/06 (Sat)On this day, my family and I went for a drive to the Anno Dam, and then visited the Kimigano Dam. In fact, the Kimigano Dam is one of the dams that I have not been able to visit despite the fact that it is relatively close by. On the way from Anno Dam to Kimigano Dam, I visited Kumozu...

1312-Nanairo Dam

Date: 3/24/2013 (Sun)Next to Okuri Dam, I visited Nanashiki Dam on a mission to pick up a dam lover's helmet that had been completed to Nanashiki Dam. The Shichishiki Dam is a power generation dam owned by J-Power Development Co.

1280-Sodani Dam

The Sodani Dam is an earth dam dedicated to irrigation water in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. However, one cannot help but be reminded of the "Kintetsu Osaka Line train collision" (commonly known as the Aoyama Tunnel accident) that once occurred in the vicinity of this dam. Today, a nature park called "Higashi Aoyama Shikinosato" is spreading, as if to cover up the tragedy of the past. The visit to the dam is a bit sobering. / Earth dam / 19m

3084-Takigawa Dam

We arrived at the Takigawa Dam. Approaching from an empty main street, the embankment can be glimpsed at the end of a curve. The Taki River Dam is a gravity-type concrete dam built in the Takayama area of Iga City on the Taki River, a small branch of the Hijiki River, a branch of the Kizu River, a branch of the Yodo River system. It is a very simple, cost-effective dam of the type often seen in prefectural dams. / Gravity concrete dam / 29.8m

1325-Komonochi Regulating Pond

The Komono Regulating Pond is a dam located in the central part of the Mie Irrigation Canal managed by the Japan Water Agency. It is an important dam that supplies water to the cities and towns of Yokkaichi, Suzuka, and Komono, along with agricultural water to the Takeya Canal, while conducting water from the Nakasato Dam and storing water from the Tamitsu River, Mitaki River, Uchina River, and Mimai River and delivering it to the main canals downstream / earth dam / 28.4m / 28.4m / 28.4m / 28.4m / Earth dam / 28.4m

1324-Miyagawa Adjustment Pond/Miyagawa Choseiichi

The Miyagawa Regulating Pond is an irrigation-only dam owned by the Japan Water Agency, and is used for agricultural water via the Asaaki Irrigation Canal. It is located in the middle of the trunk canal of the Mie Irrigation Canal and not only stores water for its own watershed, but also conducts water from the Nakasato Dam to the Mie Irrigation Canal when there is a shortage of water. / Earth dam / 27m

Dam in Mie 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

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1332-Anno Dam

The first dam I picked up for my so-called first dam visit of 2010 was this Anno Dam, which I had been planning to visit since the end of the year. I had already researched that it is an irrigation dam for agriculture, so I thought it would not be flashy, but there is no denying that it is a magnificent dam. / Gravity concrete dam / 73m

1331-hasudamu

Oh man. Four years have passed since I visited this dam and my memory is quite fuzzy. I wonder how much I can remember. The lotus dam is one of those hard-to-read dams that is hard to read as "Hachisudamu". It was completed in 1991, and although it is located deep in the mountains, it has a lot to offer. / Gravity concrete / 78m

1306-Miyagawa Dam

The area is full of nature, and there is even a campground. In addition, there are 1,000 cherry trees planted around the dam lake, and a sightseeing boat on the dam lake...it has become a tourist attraction, but I could not feel the atmosphere in this weather. I would like to go back on a fine day. / Gravity Concrete / 88.5m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1291-Mochikoshi Pond

I remember the weather was quite bad and it rained on and off, sometimes very hard. I think it is unavoidable because it rains a lot in this area, but I would prefer sunny days if at all possible. However, rainy days are not so bad either, as they have their own charm. / earth / 16m

1314-Misetani Dam

We had heard that the dam was devastated by Typhoon No. 21 that struck in 2004. We conducted our interview under cloudy skies that seemed to bring back memories of the past. The building that was once the control center has completely rotted away. / Gravity Concrete / 39m

1330-Hinachi Dam

It is a thick-boned dam. But it is also somewhat feminine. It is a motherly dam. Well, here we are, at a dam in Mie Prefecture after a long absence, and it's 7:30 in the morning. It was 7:30 in the morning, and it had been a long time since I visited a dam in the morning. It was when the cherry blossoms were about to fall. Anyway, it is huge. It's been a long time since I've seen a gravity dam this big. / Gravity concrete / 70.5m

1316-Shorenji Dam

If you want a clear view downstream, bring your own stepladder. But be careful not to be mistaken for the Seirenji Dam. It looks somewhat like the slightly smaller Yahagi Dam or Amagase Dam. / Arch / 82m
