Date of visit: 2021/10/9 (Sat) & 2021/10/31 (Sun) The Serikawa Dam has been undergoing seismic reinforcement and equipment repair work for several years as part of the "2021 Great Repair" project. Personally, I had not yet visited the Serikawa Dam, the only dam in the Koto area of Shiga Prefecture, but recently the construction of the main body of the embankment was...

3584-Nikkei Dame / Shiga Prefecture

Date of interview: 2/3/2013 (Sun.) After visiting Yasu River Dam and Zao Dam (Shiga), where all dam enthusiasts are releasing water, we headed to an earth dam called Nikeitamen. We had tried this dam once before, but when we tried to approach it from the ruins of Otowa Castle on the west side...

Date of visit: Saturday, March 10, 2012 Location: Kadokawa, Imazu-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture I stopped by on my way home from visiting the Otsuro Dam test discharge, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

0000-Setagawaraizeki

The history of the Seta River, including Lake Biwa, is the history of flood control. The history of the Seta River, including that of Lake Biwa, is a history of flood control, and it is a very complicated one, so I cannot talk about it eloquently. There is Ishiyama Temple near the Seta River weir, which is associated with Murasaki Shikibu, and further upstream, the remains of the old Seta River weir (Nango weir) still remain on the left bank of the river.

1361-Eigenji Dam / Shiga Prefecture

Eigenji-cho, where Eigenji Dam is located, is home to Eigenji Temple, which gave the dam its name, and is also famous for its autumn foliage. On the day of our visit, it was still too early to call it autumn, and the leaves were just beginning to change color. Eigenji Dam is also located along the Happu Highway R421. / Gravity concrete-fill combined dam / 73.5m

1351-Inukami River Dam

From the Hikone IC, take National Route 306 south, pass through Taga-taisha Shrine, and drive along a long, narrow prefectural road until you see the Inukami Dam. The village downstream of the Inukami Dam has a very nice atmosphere. However, despite the atmosphere, there are about three men on a motor scooter blowing a cigarette on the embankment... / Gravity Concrete / 45m

0000-kyokutani dam/magatani dam

Located downstream of the Anegawa Dam, it can be found on the way to the downstream park of the Anegawa Dam. I originally did not know this dam existed, but it is as if I discovered it during my coverage of the Anegawa Dam. However, it is well fenced in and quite closed. / Gravity concrete / 9.9m

1365-Anegawa Dam

Ibuki-cho is located at the foot of the famous Mt. Ibuki, and the Anegawa Dam is deep within the town. As you can see, the silver grass was growing taller and the autumn leaves were just starting to change color on the mountains, making it a bit chilly. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 80.5m

1362-Usogawa Dam / Shiga Prefecture

Uzogawa Dam is located among the "Koto Sanzan" (three mountains in the Koto area): Ryueizan "Seimyoji Temple," Shobozan "Kongorinji Temple," and Shakayama "Hyakusaiji Temple," which are also famous for their autumn leaves. It may be a good idea to visit these temples when visiting the dam. Also, there are many national treasures and important cultural assets in the Koto Sanzan. / Rock fill / 56m
