0505-Otori Dam
Located downstream from Okutadami Dam, this is a dedicated power generation dam owned by J-Power Development. It is off-limits to the general public. We arrived at the Otori Dam on the back of a microbus provided by Power Supply Development Co. Again, I had not studied the dam beforehand, so I did not know the details of the dam. Although we could not see the entire embankment due to the power plant building, the solid appearance of the embankment is unique to the gravity-type arch. The white object hanging down from the right bank of the embankment is a hydraulic pipe for power generation. / Gravity arch dam / 83m
