View of the embankment from the dam lake side
Butsubara Dam is located along Route 158 and is very easy to find, but it is a small dam, so if you are driving in a daze, you may pass by it.

Other facilities/observations
| Parking lot | × | On the day of the interview (9/23/2002), it was under construction and almost impossible to visit. And this is the only photo I was able to take... There's a point in front of the dam site where you could shoot from downstream. I couldn't go inside because of the fence (ToT). Moreover, since the dam appears suddenly, it is a bit difficult to find a place to park your car. |
