Date of the interview: Sunday, September 16, 2012

After leaving the Yuda Dam, the group entered Yokote City, Akita Prefecture, and had lunch of Yokote yakisoba at the Akita Furusato Village. In addition, they enjoyed Kiritanpo (sliced pork dumplings).

After that, I went further north and unexpectedly saw a sign that said either "Ichijoki Dam" or "Ichijoki Reservoir" and made a hasty stop. I don't even remember if I saw the sign and decided to go there in the first place.

View of the upstream flood discharge from the bridge at the top end

As the name suggests, it is a "reservoir," so the flood discharge is of the type often seen.

View of downstream flood discharge

It is a huge grass. Cherry trees were planted around the pond, as if it were a cherry blossom viewing spot.

View of the levee downstream from the right bank

The grass is so thick that it is hard to believe that it is a dam.

And the water level of the dam lake was quite low. Ichijoki Dam was built before the war, and farmers in the beneficiary area are said to produce "Akita Komachi.

It is difficult to see in this photo, but there is a sloping intake on the left bank near the levee.

Signboard of "Ichijoki Reservoir, one of the 100 best reservoirs in Japan

It is a very splendid sign. The plaque for the 100 best dam lakes is quite impressive, but the fact that such a large and splendid sign is installed indicates that the reservoir is loved by the local people.

It seems that the so-called nature trail is named the New Okunohosomichi.

The surrounding area is maintained as Ichijoki Park, and there was a group camping there that day.
