View of the levee from downstream
From Toyota City, take Route 419 to Fujioka Town. Continue north and turn left onto Prefectural Road No. 13. Continue straight on Prefectural Road No. 13 and you will find Kise Dam. You can come here without getting lost. The photo on the left was taken from the parking lot just off the prefectural road.

Monument from the park on the left bank
Further north on the prefectural road, there is a road to the left that leads to the top of the dam. The area around the dam is a small park, "open to the community," where many families were enjoying fishing and barbecuing on the sunny day of the photo shoot.

Other facilities/observations
It is a relatively new dam and has basic facilities as it is "open to the community". I personally did not expect much since it is a small dam, but it seems to be a good spot to enjoy barbecue parties and fishing.
