View of the levee from the downstream side of the left bank
After visiting the Susohana Dam, we paid a visit to Zenkoji Temple, and on the way back, we took Route 19 along the Saigawa River to visit the dams along the Saigawa River! I planned to visit the dams along the Saigawa River on my way back to Zenkoji Temple. The plan worked, and we headed south upstream from here.
The first dam is the Odagiri Dam. This dam is characterized by its rows of gates. There was no point to take pictures, so I only took this one picture. I was only able to take a few pictures of each of the dams down south from here...
