From the direction of Nagoya, take National Route 41 past Gero, follow the signs, and follow the road the rest of the way.

This time, the photo shoot is a struggle against backlighting. I was reminded once again that it becomes difficult to take pictures if you don't consider the time and direction.... The parapets of the embankment were frozen, probably because it was late autumn.

It is a new dam and is very beautifully maintained. The way this dam is maintained reminds me of the Kise Dam in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. Come to think of it, the shape of the embankment is very similar, and it looks like a larger version of the Kise Dam. Is this dam also designated as a "dam open to the community"?

Other facilities/observations
| Parking lot | ○ | The parks and such are very well maintained, but Even though it's close to the national highway, the access road isn't very good. I doubt there will be many tourists. Also, for a narrow access road, the I felt that the dam site was over maintained and not a place to enjoy nature. |
