Downstream view of the levee from the left bank

The word "Tenri" reminds me of "Tenrikyo." When I was a child, I remember being taken to the headquarters and kneeling in the hallway where the great monks passed by.... But I am a pagan.... I also remember being treated well by a lady in the Tenrikyo Bunkyo-kai in my neighborhood, so I have a connection to Tenri in some way. So, I visited Tenri for the first time in about 20 years. Oyasama Miki must have been surprised that the place I visited for the first time in a long time was a dam....

View of the top edge from the right bank

Tenpata is the so-called "Tenpata National Highway," through which National Highway 25 runs. However, it is not National Route 25 as Meihan National Highway, but National Route 25 as an old road.

The hangar appears to be very high up because of the low water level.

“ふじわらたくみ”がここまで遠征に来たかどうかは不明ですが、とにかくドリフトしてみたくなるようなヘアピン。CR-Vなら曲がりきれず減勢工に突っ込むのがオチでしょうけど。まさにそんな役割も果たすmomentum reducer(Lies)
