Dam in the Kinki Region

1564-Tsuburo Dam / Nara Pref.

Date of visit: 3/31/2012 (Sat.) I stopped by on my way to Otaki Dam, where a test discharge was to be conducted. We were heading upstream to the embankment, but it was impressive that we frequently passed dump trucks on the narrow lakeshore road, as they were doing construction around the embankment. I was not sure where the Tsuburoko Park on the right bank was...

1582-Miyauku Dam

Date of report：2012/03/31 (Sat)On the way to the Otaki Dam, where a test discharge was to be conducted, I noticed a sign that said there was a dam and made a hasty stop at the Miyaoku Dam. The Miyaoku Dam is located on National Route 370, and when you turn right at the signpost for the Miyaoku Dam and drive for a while, you will see the embankment in front of you...

Date of visit: Saturday, March 10, 2012Location: Kadokawa, Imazu-cho, Takashima City, Shiga PrefectureI stopped by the Otsuro Dam on my way home from a visit to the test discharge of the dam, but it was too late in the evening and there was quite a bit of snow on the ground to get close to the embankment. Casual approach to the downstream reduction works (as far as ...

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

1440-Sayama Pond Dam

Sayama Pond Dam is the oldest earth dam in Japan, a reservoir that has been passed down from generation to generation since the 7th century, and now serves not only as an earth dam for farmers, but also to protect the lives and property of citizens, and has been transformed into a place for birds and citizens to relax. It will be passed on to the next generation for another 100 to 200 years. / Earth dam /18.5m

Osaka Prefecture Dam

1479-Hikihara Dam

Hikihara Dam is a Hyogo Prefecture-owned gravity concrete dam located in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The dam site is equipped with a parking lot. Valuable remains from the time of construction have been preserved and can be viewed freely. The embankment can be seen from downstream, so it is a highly recommended dam. / Gravity concrete dam / 66m

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

3335-Tongu Pond/Tongu Ike

Commonly seen reservoir type earth dam. An important dam that supports local agriculture and farmers. After leaving the Hinogawa Dam, we next headed for Tongu Pond, an earth dam that has been selected as one of the "50 Best Reservoirs in Shiga. You can see it on the left when you go south from the Hinogawa Dam on Prefectural Road No. 41, but be careful when driving as the road narrows at some points along the way. / Earth dam / 22m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1358-Hinogawa Dam

The Hino River Dam is properly a gravel fill dam (more precisely, a central core gravel fill dam), which is not made of larger stones like a rock-fill dam, but of raised gravel. The dam is loved by the local people as a place for recreation such as fishing and walking, and even though it is small in scale, it works well...that is the image of this dam. / Rockfill dam / 25m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

3601-Hinogawa Wakidamu

I had intended to put them together as the Hino River Dam, but when I looked at the dam handbook, etc., I discovered that there was a side dam, and I had to sort through the photos in a hurry.... However, it is difficult to determine where the Hino River Dam begins and ends at the side dam, and since I did not intend to take these photographs in the first place, there is a possibility that my memory is mistaken. / Earth dam / 19m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1366-Zao Dam

The Zao Dam was built to secure water for agriculture of 4,986 ha of rice paddies and 225 ha of fields in Omihachiman City, Ryuo Town, Hino Town, and Higashiomi City, Gamo-gun, and is not a particularly remarkable dam. This is one of the important agricultural water utilization facilities in the Higashiomi area, so it is quietly watching over agriculture.... / Rockfill dam / 56m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

3195-Yasu River Dam/Yasugawa Dam

The Yasu River Dam is a gravity-type concrete dam for irrigation only and has an old history. 50 years have passed and the dam has become decrepit, so it will undergo overall renovation, which will be completed in 2010. I like the old smoked silver dam, but a fully renovated modern concrete dam is not bad either. / Gravity concrete dam / 54.4m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

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. This is a dam that is full of things to see and do, and that families can surely enjoy to their heart's content. / Rockfill dam / 43.5m

1465-Tachigahata Dam

After visiting Ishii Dam, we headed to Tachigahata Dam. However, I was very impressed that the interesting properties were scattered around before we reached the embankment, and the embankment was not the only thing to see. The stone-lined dam was clearly distinct from the concrete dams we had seen before. I am sure that the people of the Meiji period must have seen a landscape not much different from this picture. / Gravity concrete dam / 33.3m

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

1519-Ishii Dam

This is a Hyogo Prefecture-operated flood control dam that also serves the purpose of recreation and has a gallery inside the embankment. I had done a little preliminary study of the dam beforehand, and was very curious to see a dam with "recreation" as its purpose. However, it seemed to fulfill its purpose, and there were quite a few people walking around. / Gravity concrete dam / 66.2m

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

1507-Tenno dam

This is a perforated dam for flood control only, which does not store water. The orifice gate is actually visible in this photo. The orifice is located below the perforated gate. The orifice is higher than expected, so it does not seem that it does not store water at all. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 33.8m

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

1511-hitokura dam

This is the first dam in Hyogo Prefecture on this site. We stopped by during our trip to Kobe and Arima Onsen. It was a hot day, but we were unusually blessed with clear blue skies. Around the dam, there are many spots where you can enjoy outdoor activities such as tennis, fishing, camping, and barbecue. It might be a good idea to spend a little more time and take your time to visit the dam. / Gravity concrete dam / 75m

Hyogo Prefecture Dam

1580-Nunome Dam

This is a multi-purpose dam under the jurisdiction of the Japan Water Agency, completed in 1992, with parks and other recreational facilities. Perhaps because it was as cold as winter, there were no visitors in spite of various improvements. I heard that black bass can be caught in the dam lake. I would like to bring a lure. I heard that it is also a marathon course and even better for road biking. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 72m

Nara Prefecture 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
