Dam in Shikoku Region

2126-Kawaguchi Dam

Date of interview: 3/2/2014 (Sun.) The last dam I chose for this day's dam tour in Shikoku was Kawaguchi Dam, located at the downstream end of the Naga River. To tell the truth, I wanted to stop by Fukui Dam and Masaki Dam, but it was around 3:45 p.m. when we arrived at Kawaguchi Dam. And since the embankment height is low, we didn't have that much time...

Tokushima Prefecture Dam

2122-Nagayasuguchi Dam

One of the dams in Shikoku that has been on my mind for a long time was this Chouankou Dam. The Chinese character for "Chang'an" sounds like "Chouan" and you might be tempted to read it as "Chouankou," but "Nagayasuguchi" is the correct answer. Chang'an is the name of a place and the entrance ...

2125-Omidani Dam

Date: 3/2/2014 (Sun.) On the way from the Kominoso Dam to the Nagaankuchi Dam, there is a dam that you should definitely stop by, although the direction is slightly different from the one you are heading in. It is the Omiya Dam. Like the Ominozawa Dam, the Omiya Dam is owned by Shikoku Electric Power Co...

After touring Shingu Dam and Yanase Dam, participating in an event at Hayamoura Dam, and staying overnight in Kochi City, we came to Yoshino Dam in Kami City. We planned to visit the dams along Route 195 before heading home. I entered the dam along the National Highway...

2243-Yanase Dam / Ehime, Japan

Date of visit: 3/1/2014 (Sat.) From Shingu Dam, we came via National Route 319, which runs along the reservoir, to Yanase Dam, which is located upstream. In Shikoku, there is a dam in Tokushima, which is also pronounced "Yanase," so you may wonder "Which one is it? I was not sure which one it was....

2267-Shingu Dam

On this day, I came to Shikoku to participate in the "Meeting in Praise of the Hayamaura Dam" organized by dam enthusiast Yajaku-san. The Shingu Dam was built on the Doyama River, a tributary of the Yoshino River...

2317-Anauchi River Dam

Date of interview: 10/11/2019 (Friday) I originally came here to participate in the tour of the Anauchi River Dam, but I visited here to see the dam in advance, as a wild dam lover's intuition that I would not be able to act freely during the tour, or perhaps as a preview, or a location scouting exercise.... I visited the dam to see it beforehand...

2311-Omori River Dam

Date of interview: 10/12/2019 (Sat) I came to Shikoku to participate in a tour of the Anauchi River Dam, and since I don't often come to Shikoku, I carefully planned my visit to the dam and came to the Omorigawa Dam. However, the Omorigawa Dam is a dam that is difficult to conquer for those in the know. The reason why is...

2312-Sugita Dam/Suidamu

Sugita Dam is a dedicated power generation dam owned by Kochi Prefecture, and apparently also serves to reverse the peak load flow of the Nagase and Yoshino power plants located upstream. The maximum authorized output is 11,500 kW, which is the amount of electricity used by about 15,000 average households in a year. There were also some events that made me feel the good-naturedness of Shikoku. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 44m

2322-Sameura Dam

For me, this place could be a sacred place. The Hayamoura Dam was the object of my highest longing. It reminded me of the time when I first became a dam maniac and had my heart set on the Kurobe Dam (Toyama). However, unlike those days, I have seen many dams, but this is the legendary Hayamyoura Dam. I can't help but be reminded of it. / Gravity concrete dam / 106m

2130-Ikeda Dam

The Ikeda Dam, along with the Hayamoura Dam and other dams, is the "cornerstone" of Shikoku's flood control and water utilization. It is an all-purpose dam that provides not only irrigation, flood control, water supply, industrial water, and river maintenance, but also power generation. / Gravity concrete dam / 24m

2177-Gogo Dam

Gogo Dam is a gravity concrete dam constructed on the Maeda River in the Quaoda River system for the purpose of flood control and irrigation. It is located very close to the Toyotoshi Pond Dam, and I actually visited there right after the Toyotoshi Pond Dam. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 50.5m
