Shikoku makes for a wonderful dam tour no matter how many times I visit.gravity-fed concrete damOn the second day, we will visit unique arch dams such as the Kominoso Dam and the Omiya Dam, although the main dams will be high dams. Kawaguchi Dam is a dam with a lot of attractions, which is unexpected from the size of its embankment, in a good sense, and we spent the longest time in this dam tour, except for Hayamoura Dam.
Day 1
Since we are visiting on the first day to participate in an event for dam enthusiasts at the Hayamoura Dam, our stay at the dam is much longer than usual.

16:40 | E: Hibari Misora Monument and Song Monument |
After visiting the Hayamoura Dam, we visited the monument to Hibari Misora in Otoyo Town. The monument was built to honor Hibari Misora, who was involved in a bus accident in Otoyo Town when she was a young singer touring in Shikoku. At first glance, it may seem that this monument has nothing to do with the dam, but since the famous song "Like a Stream on the River" flows from the monument, it cannot be said to be unrelated to the dam.
2nd day
The tour of Shikoku dams at this time included an overnight stay in Kochi City. We also ate lunch very late at the roadside station Momijigawa Onsen (hot spring), but we compressed our stay to 30 minutes💦.
