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....

This is the extent of the telephoto.... I had heard about this, but this is hard.

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.

Arch-type dam curry, supervised by dam mania, large portion

Other facilities/observations

It's a shame it's not a "show dam," but it can't be helped.
