On this day, I toured dams in Tanba-Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture and western Kyoto Prefecture as my first dam visit of the year. Overall, there are a lot of earth dams, and the tour is a bit more professional-oriented, but there are also famous concrete dams such as the Hatagawa Dam and the Hiyoshi Dam in between, so even those who are not so keen on earth dams can fully enjoy the course.
Also, upstream of the Hachimantani Dam is the prefectural Sasayama Forest Park, an area where children can play, so you may want to combine a tour of the dam with a visit to the park. However, Hiyoshi Dam has a roadside station and a vast park and hot springs downstream, so if you plan to play there as well, you should be careful to allocate your time carefully.
