Yahagi No. 2 Dam is located downstream from Yahagi No. 1 Dam. Since many runners and bikers drive on the lakeshore road, I hesitated to park every time and could not easily take pictures, but I took the plunge.
The water in the dam lake is very muddy due to heavy rain until the previous day.

The four red tenter gates are very attractive. The second gate, counting from the left bank, is discharging water.

This is a little closer than the previous photo point. It is very neat and tidy. Unlike the Yahagi No. 1 Dam, the top of the dam is off-limits.
