View of the embankment from downstream on the right bank, Part 1
So, I finally found the Nakaiwa Dam. What's that? It was so far away. Moreover, the grass and trees were so thick that I couldn't see it at all....
The Nakaiwa Dam is a dedicated power generation dam owned by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), and is an unusualgravity arch damThe "The However,dam handbookThen, even though the description says "gravity arch dam," the spec table saysgravity-fed concrete damThere is some confusion, such as the fact that the "gravity arch dam" is a "gravity arch dam". Since gravity arch dams are few in number and valuable, we categorized them as "gravity arch dams" on this site. w

This is the extent of the telephoto.... I had heard about this, but this is hard.
It is an old dam built before the war, but it was renovated in 1969, and the number of gates was reduced from 10 to 6. I also heard that it was selected as one of the "2000 most important existing civil engineering structures in Japan," and if so, I would like to see a little more of it.

I moved a little to the left toward the dike. Even with this, you can barely make out that the fish are being released.... In the photos in the dam handbook, etc., there is a more complete picture or a photo of the fish passage installed on the right bank, but it seems to be in a slightly different location than here. Maybe he paddled through the bushes? It's possible with that one, yes, yes (mystery).
Restaurants with a view of the levee
The clue to this shooting point is this restaurant. Sorry, I can't go into too much detail w
Arch-type dam curry, supervised by dam mania, large portion
As an aside, I was told that a convenience store "Save On" was selling an arch-type dam curry under the supervision of Mr. Miyajima's website "Dam Mania." After finishing the Nakaiwa Dam, I decided to have this as my breakfast since there was a Save On nearby.
Well, I'll have some!
Tastes like a convenience store. The spiciness is quite hot. It was like that, but it was delicious.
