View of the levee from the downstream side of the left bank

It took me a little time to find this dam. It would have been easy to find it from the prefectural road side on the right bank, but I photographed it from the national road side on the left bank, and also from a residential road off the national road. I think I could have taken more pictures from the right bank, but due to time constraints, I could not go around to the right bank.

View of the levee, fish passage, and power plant from the downstream side of the right bank

The beige building on the left is the power plant. The structure between the power plant and the dike is probably a fish passage. It is a fish passage like the Corinthian game.
