Zoom in on the embankment (gate) from the dam control center
To reach Akigami Dam this time, we took Prefectural Route 87 from Kunano Town on National Route 41, turned right at the intersection of Timely and drove along National Route 361. If the weather was good, we could see Mt. Norikura in the vicinity of Kunano Town.

The weather was calm and windless, and there were no waves on the lake, so I decided to photograph not "upside-down Fuji" but "upside-down dam. The symmetrical reflection of the subject looked so beautiful.

Hmmm. This is the limit because the telephoto is not working. Moreover, it was hard to get it in focus... (Omitted below).

Other facilities/observations
| Parking lot | ○ | The area around the control center is very well maintained, but The levee itself is not included, a style unique to Chuden. However, this area is densely populated with dams, so it is recommended to visit the area in conjunction with the tour. Also, if you go back up the Akigami Dam.Akigami Onsenand there are Here, every winter, a "sub-zero forest" is They show objects frozen by pouring water on the trees. I highly recommend it at night when the lights are up, it's fantastic! And admission is free! When I was there, the owner of the onsen ryokan had a coffee corner in the sub-zero forest.
