Location: Aza Shintaki, Oaza Koshirakawa, Shirakawa Village, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture
View of the embankment from the right bank
It is located on the border between Gifu and Toyama prefectures, northward on Route 156. We suddenly came across this dam during a trip in Kanazawa.
It is a pleasure to discover an unfamiliar dam like this because it is not on the maps I have.
This area is intermingled with Gifu and Toyama prefectures, so the national highway changes prefectures frequently. This is an interesting experience that is difficult to experience if you live on the plains.
