note (supplementary information) symbol This article replaces an article published on November 28, 2014 in the old Dam Log.

While I was wondering whether or not to make the Dam Log a section of Damapedia, the months passed by... Hi, it's time for the Dam Log.

I have been collecting stamps since this summer and finally exchanged them for prizes today. It's a bit long, but I took pictures of the stamp stands, etc. on Instagram, so let's take a look back at all 24 locations from the beginning.

The stamp rally mounts will be marked with a

There is a

In conclusion, I am very glad to have participated in the stamp rally. As I live in the Nobi Plain, which is also a maritime area, there are still many things about the Kiso San-river that I do not know. This was a good learning opportunity for me. If there is a next time, I would love to participate again. My son will be older by then, and I would love to tour the area with him.

First: Roadside Station, Yashagaike no Sato Sakachi (8/15/2014)

306 Hirose, Bannai, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/8:00-17:00
Closed/Wednesday (or the following day if Wednesday is a national holiday)

I think it was when I heard that the Tokuyama Dam was releasing a different amount of water than the tourist releases for flood control and went to see the dam. I went to the roadside station to have lunch and bought the "Yokotsukku" in the photo.dam curryI think it was when I ate at a restaurant in the "Mere Old Man" and heard about the stamp rally there that I casually pressed the first one. At that time, I had no idea that I would complete it.

Second: Tokuyama Dam (2014/8/15)

448 Kaida, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/No holidays

The second one is the well-known Tokuyama Dam. I had not yet taken a picture of the stamp stand or anything at this time. Still, it was a pretty good discharge.

Third: Yokoyama Dam (8/15/2014)

1330 Higashi Yokoyama, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/8:30-17:15
Closed/Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays

This is the main 50th anniversary project Yokoyama Dam. This is also the place where the stamp rally prizes can be exchanged. Good thing the stamp design is of the embankment! I found a Chunichi Shimbun article about myself posted in the administration office, which is a bit embarrassing.

Fourth: Roadside Station, Hoshinohurusato Fujihashi (8/15/2014)

264-1, Higashi Yokoyama, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours: 9:30-18:00 weekdays, 8:30-18:30 weekends and holidays
Closed/The year-end and New Year holidays (local specialty sales facilities), Tuesdays (restaurants), Thursdays (Soba Restaurant Fujihashi-an and Ibigawa Hot Spring Fujihashi-no-yu) (or the following day if the day falls on a national holiday)

The fourth one is Roadside Station, Hoshinohurusato Fujihashi. I think the stamp stand was located in a place that was a little difficult to find. As at Roadside Station Yashagaike no Sato Sakachi, there is a dam curry. The ingredients are a little different from those of Sakachi, so you may want to compare them.

5th: Nishidaira Dam (8/15/2014)

5-5, Aza-Takahata, Mikura, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/9:00-16:00
Closed/No holidays

The fifth one is Chubu Electric Power Company's Nishidaira Dam. It was discharging water well.

Sixth: Hamaguri Plaza (10/1/2014)

86-21 Oaza-Akasuga, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture
Hours: 9:00-17:00, except for the cafeteria, which is open from 11:30-13:30
Closed/Tuesdays, Year-end and New Year holidays (Dec. 29-Jan. 3)

It has been a month and a half since the stamp rally has been open, but since the stamp rally ends at the end of November, I started to think that it would be better to complete it as soon as possible, so I resumed. Moreover, I collected them on this day by bicycle from my home. It was a good training. Hamaguri Plaza is the stamp stand at the downstream end of the Ibigawa River. The old Tokaido Highway is nearby, and you can also enjoy the history of the area, including the remains of the Shichiri-no-watashi (crossing of seven miles).

7 piece: Township of Wanaka (10/1/2014)

1093 Nishikawa, Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture
Hours/9:30-16:45 (admission until 16:00)
Closed/Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/28 - 1/4)
Fees: Adults (high school students and older): 310 yen, children: 100 yen

I almost missed the stamp here, but I got it. Thank you, people in the township of Wanaka! I forgot to take a picture of the stamp stand.

8th: Jishui Shrine (10/1/2014)

Kaizu-cho, Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture

The eighth one is Jisui Shrine, where Hirata Yukiyo, who committed suicide in the Horeki flood control, is the god of worship. I had seen Senbon Matsubara, so there was no way I would not have seen Josui-jinja Shrine.

9th piece: Kiso-Mikawa Park Center (10/1/2014)

255-3 Aburashima, Kaizu-cho, Kaizu-shi, Gifu
Hours/9:30-17:00 *Closing time varies depending on the season.
Closed/2nd Monday of each month (or the immediately following weekday if the Monday is a national holiday) (except April, August, and December)
Fees: Adults 620 yen, children (elementary and junior high school students) 300 yen

The "Kiso San-river Park Center" is a very large place, so I had to look for it for quite a while. I found it on the left side of the "Mizu to Midori-no-Kan" (Water and Green Pavilion). This was the last stamp of the day.

10th: Sabo Yugakukan (10/15/2014)

No.1, Okujo, Nanno-cho, Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3)

This is a facility where you can learn about erosion control. Be sure to visit the bust of De Reke. I actually cycled here, although I was quite injured after falling off my bicycle in the first week of October. I was still not fully healed, so I had to go to the hospital on my next day off.

And this is what happened the next day after all.

11th: Hachiman Hachiman Houikei-in Tenshoji Temple (10/30/2014)

218 Nekoji, Yoro Town, Yoro County, Gifu Prefecture, Japan

There was only one month left until the stamp rally deadline. I even had an MRI done on my injuries from the fall, and although they were eventually diagnosed as mere bruising, I was still in pain and could no longer hold the drop handlebars, so from here on out I would have to travel by private vehicle now. It was the day my son was coming home in the afternoon, so I left as soon as he got home and got the eleventh one.

Tenshoji Temple is the temple where the funerals of the 27 volunteers who died during the Horeki flood control works were held and buried. I made sure to visit the graves. I forgot to take a picture of the stamp stand...

12th: Wanouchi Town History and Folklore Museum (10/30/2014)

1495 Nakago-shinden, Wanouchi-cho, Anpachi-gun, Gifu
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/Mondays, the day following a national holiday (or the day following if it is a Sunday or Monday), and the last Friday of every month

The town was named Wanouchi-machi because it is located inside of Wanaka, but my son enjoyed the park outside more than the museum.

The roller slide is surprisingly long and enjoyable. Also, this was my personal favorite.

13th: Ogaki City Rinchukan (10/30/2014)

2-1611-1, Irikata, Ogaki-shi, Gifu
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/Tuesdays (or the following day if the day falls on a national holiday), the day after a national holiday (or the following day if the day falls on a Sunday or Tuesday, or the following day if the day falls on a Monday or Saturday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3)

The definition of regular holidays was so complicated that I almost lost the translation when I typed it in, but the inside of the museum was the most interesting with its extensive facilities anyway. It may be a misnomer to call it interesting, but I could understand the history of Wanaka very well.

14th: Okunohosomichi Musubinochi Memorial Museum (10/30/2014)

2-26-1 Funamachi, Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture
Hours / Bashokan and Sengenkan 9:00-17:00, Sightseeing and Exchange Center 9:00-21:00
Closed/New Year's Holidays
Admission/ Bashokan and Sengenkan only: Adults 300 yen, children under 18 free (including the first March 31 after reaching 18 years of age)

This is a memorial museum honoring Basho, whom everyone knows. It was just completed on April 8, 2012 and is a very beautiful facility. It is also nice that parking is free. I had a soft ice cream and relaxed. This was the last stop for the day. I headed home. Only 10 stamps left!

The 15th one: Heartopia Anpachi History and Folklore Museum (11/5/2014)

30, Hidori, Anpachi-cho, Anpachi-gun, Gifu
Hours/History and Folklore Museum: 9:00-18:00 (admission until 30 minutes before)
Closed/Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3)

Now, it is the fifth day. Finally, the last spurt. Can you hear the song "Sarai" at the end? I think you must be getting tired of it by now, but please bear with me a little longer.
Before I went there, I thought I had heard of Heartopia Anpachi somewhere before, but it was a facility by the Shinkansen bullet train. I remembered that I had passed by the road in front of this building several times when I had just gotten my driver's license.
Incidentally, the "Rinchu Exhibition" was held until November 15.

16th: Xiao Noren Hongyuan (11/5/2014)

1350 Roku, Mizuho City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Hours / Always open

To be honest, I couldn't read it. It reads "Ozukouen. It is located along the old Nakasendo Road and is said to be a memorial park for the Imperial Princess Kazumiya, who composed a poem when she married into the Tokugawa family at the end of the Edo period, when she saw maple leaves turning red from a bamboo screen. The park is located along the former Nakayamamichi Road, and is said to be the site where she composed a poem when she saw the maple leaves from the bamboo blinds at the end of the Edo period.

17 piece: Krono Station Rail Park (11/5/2014)

560-4, Kurono, Ono-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed on Mondays and the day following a national holiday

I realized that I had skipped one place, but since I could not go back, I turned it to the end of the day. Kurono Station is a park that was built on the site of Kurono Station on the Meitetsu Ibi Line. What does this have to do with Ibigawa River and the 50th anniversary of Yokoyama Dam? The atmosphere was very nice, with the platform still intact. If you like abandoned railroads, this is a must-see.

18th: Honzu Folk Museum (11/5/2014)

324, Monju, Honzu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday)

Huh? I took the stamp but I don't remember anything strange. It's like I don't have a good impression of it. I wonder why...

19th: Ibigawa Museum of History and Folklore (11/5/2014)

901-5, Kaminamikata, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/9:00-17:00
Closed/Mondays (or the following day if the Monday is a national holiday. (If the day following a national holiday falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, the museum will be closed on Tuesday), Year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3)
*The museum may not be open as usual after September 1 due to renovation work.
Fees: Adults 100 yen, elementary and junior high school students 50 yen

It was written on the stamp rally card, and as expected, the museum was undergoing renovation. When I checked with the man at the reception desk, he told me that the admission fee would normally be 100 yen, but that I could enter the museum free of charge because of the conditions I was seeing. However, most of the exhibits were covered with vinyl, so we were unable to see them properly. Even so, I was able to get some idea of the history of the town of Ibigawa.

Also, outdoors, there was a reconstructed house that used to be in Toiri, Tokuyama Village, which lies at the bottom of the Tokuyama Dam. You might want to see this.

Then we visited the dam before our next destination.
First is the Nishidaira Dam.

And Kuse Dam.

And then there is the Yokoyama Dam, which is also on the scene.

It was past lunch time, so I decided to have "Yokotsukku Dam Curry" at Roadside Station Yashagaike no Sato Sakachi, but to my surprise, they were closed! I decided to fool my stomach with a carbonated drink that day.

20th piece: Nanno Valley bedding group (Bikeland Center House) (11/5/2014)

994-3 Sakauchi Kawakami, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Stamp stand is located near the restrooms in the Bike Land Center House.

It would have been nice if we had cruised here at the beginning, but we ended up in a very remote location.
I just noticed that the stamp stand has been moved to the front of the Bannai Promotion Office from the following day, November 6.For more informationThe following is a list of the most common problems with the
The floor-fixing work itself is a bike land, where motocross and other off-road motorcycles can be driven.

Incidentally, there is an IBIDEN-owned Kamidake Dam just upstream, which should be visited together.

21st: Kobe Town Nursing and Preventive Care Facility, Barara no Sato (11/5/2014)

1001-2, Oaza-Kobe, Kobe-cho, Anpachi-gun, Gifu-ken
Hours/9:00 - 21:00 (bathing hours: 11:00 - 21:00)
Closed/Tuesdays (or the following day if Tuesday is a national holiday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3), temporary closing on 10/11 and 10/12
Admission: ¥200 for adults, ¥100 for elementary and junior high school students *Free for pre-school children

This place was challenging! First of all, my car navigation system did not indicate the place properly. And when I finally found it, the atmosphere was extremely difficult to enter. I had no intention of going to the hot springs.
Also, there are a lot of elderly people, so it is very difficult to enter.
Fortunately, there was a stamp stand right at the entrance, so I quickly pressed it and finished the stamp rally for the day.

22nd: Tarui Town History and Folklore Museum (in Tarui Pier Center) (11/13/2014)

2443-1 Tarui-machi, Fuwa-gun, Gifu-ken
Hours/10:00-18:00
Closed/Mondays, last Thursday of each month (or the following day if the day falls on a national holiday), year-end and New Year holidays (12/28 - 1/4)

The exhibition hall was quite worth seeing. It was a museum full of Hanbei Takenaka's works, as it is the place where Hanbei Takenaka was associated with.
There is a bronze statue of Hanbei right after entering the entrance.

There is also a character named Hanbei Tarupi-kun.

The other interesting thing was that on the way here, there was an airship for advertising a certain insurance company tethered to the riverbed around the confluence of the Ibigawa and Makita Rivers. It was the first time I had ever seen an airship this close up, so I was unintentionally excited.

I think the other thing I did was eat at a bakery called Gourmand Vital, which I learned about through my fellow dame Hiro@. Really good bread and stew! I would love to go back.

23rd: Sekigahara Town History and Folklore Museum (11/13/2014)

894-28, Oaza Sekigahara, Sekigahara-cho, Fuwa-gun, Gifu-ken
Hours: April-October 9:00-16:30, November-March 9:00-16:00
Closed/Mondays, the day after national holidays, year-end and New Year holidays (12/29 - 1/3), open 7/21 - 8/31
Fees: Adults 350 yen, Elementary and junior high school students 200 yen

It is a museum of the battle of Sekigahara, which is a battle that divided the country.
There were many tourists. There were also young women who seemed to be so-called "rekijo" (historical women) who came to the museum by cab.

24th: Roadside Station, Ikeda Onsen (11/13/2014)

1953-1, Katayama, Ikeda-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu
Hours/10:00-17:00
Closed/Wednesdays (or the following day if Wednesday is a national holiday), Year-end and New Year holidays (12/30 - 1/1)
Fee/One day trip bathing Adults 500 yen, children 300 yen

Now, the last stamp. I am deeply moved. "Complete! I stamped.
I had originally planned to come with my son, who loves Ikeda Onsen, and stamp his name while taking a bath, but the timing did not work out because I am off on a weekday....
Incidentally, there is a stamp stand on the side of the roadside station, so you can easily get a stamp even if you do not go into the hot spring.

A stamp rally that lasted practically 6 days. We finally reached the goal. All that remains is to redeem the prizes. 11/13 is indeed almost sunset, so I decided to redeem them on another day.
For 5 stamps, you will receive 1 postcard, for 10 stamps, 2 types, for 15 stamps, 3 types, for 20 stamps, 4 types, and for 24 stamps, you will receive original goods to complete the collection.

The place to redeem your prizes is.

　Yokoyama Dam Management Branch Office
　2. Roadside Station: Hoshinohurusato Fujihashi
　Echibi Mountain Range Erosion Control Office
　4. Kiso River Upper Stream Office

Since there are four places in the world, I wondered where to exchange them. Well, first of all, I thought I would exclude roadside stations that are too standard. But I have three stamps, one for me, one for my wife, and one for my son. So, why don't we go to other places than roadside stations to exchange stamps? It was a rare opportunity to officially enter a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) agency or an erosion control office, let alone a dam, so I was very excited. By the wayExchange is only available on weekdays except at roadside stations.Please be careful!

Exchange location #1: Kiso River Upper Stream Office (11/27/2014)

5-1, Chubushi-cho, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Hours / Weekdays 9:00-12:00 / 13:00-17:00

A questionnaire awaits those who complete it. I answered the questions such as area of residence, age segment, and gender, and there was a section that asked "Which three places were the most interesting for you in this stamp rally?" I chose Yokoyama Dam, Tokuyama Dam, and Nishidaira Dam without asking any questions. Why did you choose them?" I chose Yokoyama Dam, Tokuyama Dam, and Nishidaira Dam without asking any questions. In the "Opinion and request" column, I wrote, "I want you to do the stamp rally again.

As a total side note, the lady who accepted me was very pretty!

Second exchange location: Echibi Mountain Range Erosion Control Office (11/27/2014)

137 Gokurakuji, Ibigawa-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu-ken
Hours / Weekdays 9:00-12:00 / 13:00-17:00

I arrived just in time for my lunch break. Again, I filled out the questionnaire and won the second prize.
And on to our next destination! I ended up stopping at the Nishidaira Dam.

And Kuse dam. It was very beautiful with autumn leaves. Chuden Red looks best with autumn leaves.

It was lunchtime, so I went to Hoshinohurusato Fujihashi, a roadside station, and ate Yokotoku dam curry.

After lunch, we went to Yokoyama Dam, the last place to exchange prizes. First, we love the downstream side.

Although I have visited the Yokoyama Dam many times before, I had never noticed it and had never passed it by, but I was curious to see a stone monument called "Hatagoiwa.

The foliage is wonderful, but I wish I could match it with the embankment, but unfortunately I can't match it well in the subject. Well, it can't be helped. Please visit the site to learn more about Hatagoiwa.

And finally, the last. This is the end of the stamp rally. It is the ending of the stamp rally. Sarai is playing in my brain. I accidentally forgot to take a picture of the management office and the prizes as a set, as if I had taken pictures at the Kiso River Upper Stream Office and the Echibi Mountain Range Erosion Control Office.

The stamp rally itself will end on Sunday, November 30, 2014. In other words.Until next weekend.It is. If you start raking in your own car from first thing in the morning, you can probably collect them in a day or two, so if you haven't already, please give it a try. The prize exchange itself is also available by mail and must be postmarked by December 15. For more detailsYokoyama Dam 50th Anniversary Project websitefor more information.

digression

After exchanging prizes at Yokoyama Dam, we went to Tokuyama Dam, which is always a great place to visit.

Below is not a levee, but a point from which one can view Mt. Core. It is located further behind the Tokuyama Hall. This is sometimes a recommended point.

And soon, the back from the Tokuyama Dam embankment will be closed to snow. We will see you again in spring.

Ibigawa River Basin Stamp Rally for the 50th Anniversary of Yokoyama Dam has been completed and the prizes have been exchanged.
