The Fukashiro Dam is scheduled to be completed in 2004 and will be completed soon, but at the time this photo was taken, the dam site was still under test water and it was not possible to approach the dam site.
There were only a limited number of places to take pictures, and in those limited places there were big bees, so I could not take any pictures at all.... It was a pity because the weather was so nice, but I would like to go there again someday.

Other facilities/observations
| Parking lot | ? | At the time this page was created, the dam was not yet completed, so ancillary facilities are unknown. As a side note, after entering Route 139 in Otsuki City I realized I was low on fuel, so I stopped at the first gas station I could find, but I asked the person there what day they were closed. But then someone who looked like he was in charge came out. They refueled us, saying, "It's good." It is also a place where I was able to come into contact with the deep humanity of the people. |
