1229-Shin Toyone Dam

The day after the memorable 1st Gathering with Dam Lovers in Agigawa Dam, we decided to go and get an instruction manual for the new Toyone Dam card together! We were given an opportunity to visit the inside of the dam. Bones (?) of the aggregate of the Shin Toyone Dam The bones (?) of the aggregate of Shin-Toyone Dam...

0505-Nagashino weir (also known as Hananoki Dam)

Date of visit: 06/01/2013 (Sat) I stopped by on my way to Uren Dam for the "2nd Gathering with Dam Lovers in Uren/Oshima Dam". As the name suggests, the Nagashino weir is not a dam but a weir according to the definition of the River Law because the height of the weir is less than 15 meters. Nagashino weir...

1232-Yahata Regulating Pond

The Yahata Regulating Pond is a central barrier-type rockfill dam dedicated to irrigation water, constructed at the end of the Nanbu-Kira Trunk Canal as part of the state-run Yahagigawa River Comprehensive Project. The dam provides a stable water supply as a source of water for the former Hazu Town. It is also an unusual dam, with beautiful flowers blooming on the riprap and looking like an earth dam despite being a rockfill dam. / Rockfill dam / 22.7m

3000-Gamagoori Adjustment Pond

Gamagori Regulating Pond is a regulating reservoir for the western trunk canal of the Toyokawa water supply managed by the Japan Water Agency. The area downstream of the embankment is maintained as a park and was crowded with many families. This Gamagori adjustment pond is located a little far from the center of Gamagori City, which is a production area of mandarin oranges and a driving spot for Aichi Prefecture residents, such as Laguna Gamagori and Takeshima. / Rockfill dam / 43.2m

0000-Yamaguchi Dam (Yamaguchi River Regulating Pond)

Yamaguchi Dam (Yamaguchi River Regulating Pond) is located in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and has lost its function as a flood control and water utilization dam. Currently, it functions as an erosion control dam. You have to go through the bushes to reach the embankment, but you will be deeply moved when you get there. The moss-covered, rough embankment. The rusty parapet. The white water flowing in contrast with the frozen time is also beautiful. / Gravity concrete dam / 17.1m

1209-Oiike

Oiike is an irrigation-only earth dam located in Koda-cho, Nukata-gun, and has been recently renovated. It has just been renovated and is beautiful, and it is also an assertive dam, as you can see on the embankment. I hope the local farmers will continue to do their utmost to make the dam work as well as possible. Many cherry trees have been planted along the lakeside, making it a popular cherry blossom viewing spot. / Earth dam / 31m

1201-Chikaga Iriike

Rikigairi Pond is an agricultural reservoir located near Kotosawa Regulating Pond, and was built by the local people. It is not easy to approach the embankment, perhaps because it is cherished by the local people. The flood discharge was also photographed through the fence. I was forced to take this picture, so I ignored the level. / Earth dam / 19m

1233-Kotozawa Adjustment Pond

The Kotosawa Regulating Pond is located in Koda-cho, Nukata-gun, south of Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and is a central impervious zone-type rockfill dam under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for irrigation purposes only. Although it looks like an earth dam at a glance, it is a rockfill dam. It is also the core dam of the national Yahagigawa River Comprehensive Project, and is an important source of irrigation water for Koda Town, Kira Town, and Hazu Town. / Earth dam / 20.5m

1228-Kisogawa weir (Magai headworks)

Although the Kiso River weir is more conspicuous for its role as a bridge (it is often referred to as the Umakai Bridge), I have a renewed awareness that it plays a major role in providing a stable supply of water not only to western Aichi Prefecture, where I live, but also to Mie Prefecture. / weir / 4.2m

It is a regulating reservoir for Aichi irrigation water located in Chita City, Aichi Prefecture, which is famous for its name, Saburi Ume. The Saburi Dam is a reservoir built to supply industrial water from the Aichi Irrigation Canal to the southern Nagoya coastal industrial area, where major steel manufacturing companies such as Nippon Steel, Daido Steel, and Aichi Steel are located. / Earth dam / 21m

1236-Bamba Adjustment Pond

Although it is not possible to approach the dam, it is quite an interesting property. It is a good idea to also visit the water exhibition hall and Mt. It is an unusual dam with a rectangular shape. I don't know how to take pictures of it. It is an asphalt-facing dam, which means that the barrier wall is covered with asphalt, which is a little unusual. / Asphalt-facing fill dam / 28.6m

1237-Ohara Adjustment Pond

It is located between the Mikkaichi Interchange and Toyokawa Interchange on the Tomei Expressway, so even those who are not interested in dams will probably think, "Oh, that's it," if they have ever driven through the expressway. That is the Ohara Adjustment Pond. On some maps, it is referred to as the Ohara Dam. The Ohara Regulating Pond serves as a regulating reservoir for the Toyokawa River water supply. / Rockfill dam / 47.9m

The dam itself is small, but the lake is large in comparison. The dam lake is used as a training ground for canoeing, and competitions are held there from time to time. The gymnasium is also located next to the dam, indicating that the entire area is planned to be a comprehensive sports park. / earth / 19.7m

Yahagi No. 2 Dam is located downstream from Yahagi No. 1 Dam. Since many runners and bikers drive along the lakeshore road, I hesitated to park every time and could not easily take pictures, but I took the plunge. The water in the dam lake is very muddy due to heavy rain until the previous day. / Gravity Concrete / 38m

During the touring season, the number of motorcycles is very high and the number of visitors has increased considerably due to the recent dam boom. The embankment is also accessible to automobiles and serves as a bridge. Come to think of it, I once saw a "wild boar" near the dam around spring. Please be careful... / arch / 100m

0000-hikage dam

It is relatively large for an erosion control dam and is even on the map. The location is difficult to explain. If you are coming from Toyota City, drive east on Route 301, turn right onto the city road leading to Takiwaki around Matsudaira, turn left at the T-junction, turn left at the first street, turn right at another T-junction, and go straight the rest of the way. / Gravity Concrete

0000-Meiji Water Headworks

A headworks is a water intake facility for agricultural use, and furthermore, the Meiji Water Headworks is not a "dam" in the strict sense (as defined by the River Law) since its embankment height is 14.5m, but I thought I would include it. / Gravity Concrete / 14.5m

0000-Sasado weir

The Sasado weir is an intake weir that leads water to the Sasado Power Plant about 6 to 7 km downstream from here. Therefore, the "Sasado" of Sasado weir seems to have been named after the power plant, not after the place. As proof of this, the area around this weir is called "Kowatari. / Gravity Concrete
