3253-Nishigatani Dam

Date of visit: 1/4/2014 (Sat.) Next to Mawari-ike Pond, we visited Nishigaya Dam. It is easily accessible from Mawari-ike via National Route 477, but on the day we visited, the national highway was closed due to a typhoon the previous year, so we had no choice but to take a long detour via Prefectural Route 50...

1399-Segi Dam

Date of interview: 1/4/2014 (Sat.) On this day, I was making my first dam visit to dams in eastern Hyogo Prefecture and western Kyoto. I had visited Hiyoshi Dam several times, but I remembered that there was a dam upstream of Hiyoshi Dam that I had not yet visited, so I visited the Segi Dam. The Segi Dam is downstream of the Hiyoshi Dam...

3631-Hatakawaki Dam

Date of interview: 12/30/2012 (Sun.) - 31/2012 (Sat.) The Hatakawaki Dam is a so-called saddle dam, although it is because it is located beside the main body, the Hatakawaki Dam. At the time of construction, it was also called an "impervious retaining wall construction. The Sanin Main Line runs south of the reservoir, and if the reservoir were to be flooded with water as it is, the water pressure would...

3170-Hatagawa Dam

Interview Date: 12/30 (Sun.) to 31 (Sat.), 2012 The year 2012 was a miraculous year in which three dams (Tatsumi Dam, Otsuro Dam, and Otaki Dam) conducted test water releases in conjunction with test flooding, but there was one more dam that came in at the end of the year. This was the Hata River Dam...

1405-Takayama Dam

The Takayama Dam is a gravity-type arch dam, which is rare in that it is both a gravity-type and arch-type dam. The embankment is quite thick, giving it an impressive sense of solidity. The words "manly" and "solid and sturdy" seem to fit the dam. This time, I came to see not only the dam but also the ume (plum) grove in Tsukigase, which is located upstream of the dam. / Gravity arch dam / 67m

1403-Amagase Dam

I visited this dam after I went to "Lake Biwa Wan Wan Kingdom" because it was going to be closed. It is a very old-fashioned dam, just like Kyoto. Byodoin Temple is very close to the dam, so it would be a good idea to visit there as well. By the way, there is another dam called "Kisenyama Dam" nearby, but unfortunately you cannot enter. / Arch / 73m

1407-Hiyoshi Dam

The Hiyoshi Dam was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize in 1999. The design is well integrated with the surrounding area and is very well maintained, more so than any other dam I have seen. It is no wonder that architect Norihiko Dan designed this dam. There is so much to see and do at this dam. However, I was very disappointed that I visited on a day when the museum was closed. I would like to visit again at a later date. / Gravity Concrete / 67.4m
