View of the embankment from the right bank

Located downstream of the Maruyama Dam, the dam is not very high, but the many gates are quite spectacular.

This is the scene of the discharge of water from the Kaneyama Dam on the way back from an event held in July 2009 during the "Friendship Season for Forests and Lakes". The discharge of water from the Maruyama Dam was also impressive, but the discharge from the Kaneyama Dam was also impressive.

I also took a picture of it in portrait orientation, although it is not particularly meaningful. I think all the gates were discharged.
