Comment

This time, since the interview was combined with a visit to Takayama for sightseeing (actually, we just went to eat a dish of hoba miso), we were on a semi-strenuous tour, starting early in the morning.

There are so many dams in the Takayama area. In addition, you may discover dams that you did not know existed even though you researched them beforehand, such as the Nishimura Dam and the Kugano Dam. This area may be very nice to visit in autumn or winter. The area around Iwaya Dam in particular is a great place to enjoy the autumn leaves, and the dam in winter is also a great place to visit, as the area gets a lot of snow in winter. After playing at the ski resort, it might be a good idea to visit the dam.

Please note that National Route 361 around Takane Dam is also a very rough road, so please drive with caution. Especially in winter, there is always snow on the road. However, in recent years, the road has been widened and is gradually becoming easier to drive.
