View of the embankment from the left bank

The dam is located on the border between Kanagawa and Yamanashi prefectures, and is easily found because a prefectural road runs along the top edge.
It features three roller gates, and although it is small, the design of the parapet tells of the good old days.

The moss stuck to the embankment also adds a nice flavor.
The name "Doshi" is "Doshi" for "aspiring to be". It is a really good-sounding name. I tried to look up the origin of the name on the Internet, but I could not find it after all.

However, if it is permissible to add an afterthought to the origin of the name, it should be "Mizu no Michi wo Shisu" (aspiring for the path of water), since Yokohama City and Doshi Village have maintained a friendly relationship since Yokohama City started taking water from the Doshi River in 1897.

The water of the Doshi River is sometimes (sometimes?) shipped on foreign routes and transported overseas. It is said that the water of the Doshi River was highly praised by sailors for "not spoiling even if it crossed the equator.

View of the gate from the top

A gate full of bird flu. Even here, we are affected by bird damage (laughs).

View of the dam lake from the top

It looks like a good spot for fishing, but it is not known if fishing is possible or not. However, there is no such thing as a road or riverbank along the dam lake, so fishing may not be possible.

View of the outlet from the top

There was a little bit of water coming out of the gate, perhaps leaking from the gate. Well, this is also water for river maintenance... (lie)

View of the embankment from the right bank

We came from Sagami Lake, but the distance is reasonable, so it was quiet as if the hustle and bustle at Sagami Lake was a lie.
