Date of interview: Wednesday, November 19, 2014
Itamuro Dam is a gravity concrete dam constructed as a reverse control reservoir for the Fukayama Dam upstream and the Itamuro Power Plant of the Tochigi Prefectural Enterprise Bureau. Itamuro Dam also takes in water for irrigation and water supply.
Road to Itamuro Dam
I know this and dare to visit, but unfortunately, the Itamuro Dam is off-limits. Several years ago, the Japan Dam Association held a Dammeister training session at the Itamuro Dam, but unfortunately I was not able to attend due to various reasons. Writing this article again, I feel a strong sense of regret after all these years, but I wonder if they will hold another tour...
