(Sorry, for some reason I typed in 2013 w)

caution

Please wear sneakers or other footwear that is easy to walk in as there will be a dam tour.
Let's enjoy the tour together by observing not only traffic rules and manners, but also tour rules and manners.
Please follow the local instructions for taking photos and posting them on blogs and social networking sites. Please be considerate of portrait rights, etc.
The schedule is subject to change or cancellation due to disaster prevention systems or other reasons.

Additional Notes (added 5/9/2015)

Due to the nature of dam management (including security), we ask that your name, address, and telephone number be included at the time of registration. The reception list is to be used only for the said tour and will not be used for any other purpose.
Helmets are generally not required, but you may want to bring your own.
If you feel sick, please inform us immediately.
If it is not raining, you can climb the stairs to the top of the mountain, but please be careful as the steps are quite steep and the tread is narrow.

I went to the preview! (Added 5/9)

I went for a preview on Thursday, 4/30 and it looks like it will be another good tour!
The management office had proposed that we drive downstream, but we said, "That's such a waste! and we are proposing to move on foot.
You may laugh at your knees, but those of you who are trained by visiting dams on a daily basis will be fine! Please enjoy yourselves!

View of the embankment from the bridge downstream of Makio Dam

IMG_0636.jpg

First, let's take a look at the levee from the Rokudan Bridge, a top-way lozenge bridge located downstream of the levee before the meeting. It happened to be discharging during the preliminary inspection, but it may not be discharging on the day of the meeting.
Incidentally, 13 m3/s was discharged at this time.
The bridge is not part of this tour, so it is better to see it before or after the meeting. However, it is recommended to see the bridge before the meeting because it will be backlit after the meeting.

Soba Restaurant Sakura

IMG_0648.jpg

Please eat your own lunch beforehand this time. During the preview, please make sure that you have "hermitageWe were going to eat at "The Bistro" but it was closed on a holiday! We ended up going to "Soba Restaurant SakuraI decided to eat at

It is roughly 15 minutes away from the Makio Dam.

fried soba (similar to chow mein) with shrimp, shrimp or vegetables in a shallow frying pan

IMG_0645.jpg

There I had kakiage-soba. After all, soba is a must when you come to Nagano. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but the price was around 1,000 yen. I heard that the number of tourists is decreasing due to the eruption of Mt!

meeting place

IMG_0661.jpg

The meeting place is not the administration office, but a small hill on the other side of the restrooms on your left as soon as you enter the parking lot. You will see the building in the photo. Please park in the plaza across from the building and wait inside.

Inside the meeting place

IMG_0657.jpg

Please wait here. Restrooms are also located inside.
In fact, this office was used during the construction of sediment control measures following the earthquake in western Nagano Prefecture. Inside, you will find a dam condominium that was once used and a huge map model of the Aichi Waterway, so please enjoy looking around until the start time.

Inside the control center

IMG_0652.jpg

I've covered it with a mosaic for your enjoyment on the day of the event, but I'm sure the wise dam enthusiasts will recognize it right away. (If there is a large number of participants, we may omit some information.)

View from XX

IMG_0668.jpg

I had put this as a request and it has been fulfilled! This is also a mosaic for the fun of the day.
I hope they are releasing it on the same day.

Walk the fill section.

IMG_0671.jpg

Walk from the top edge to the fill section. See the rough riprap.

Gentian flower

IMG_0676.jpg

I thought I would reach the plaza downstream when I went down the fill section, but I found the old village road. I took a quick shot of a gentian blooming there. It is nice to take pictures of flowers once in a while.

The Road to Nadir

IMG_0682.jpg

From the old village road, exit once onto the current village road and head for the intersection with Prefectural Road 256.
There are no sidewalks and cars drive quite fast on the downhill road, so please be careful of automobile traffic.
After crossing Prefectural Route 256, there is a gate marked "No Trespassing" and you are once again stepping into a forbidden area. The photo was taken from behind that gate.
The gate is located on the old Prefectural Road 256 and the piers of the "old Rokudan Bridge" can be seen in the back.
The former Rokudan Bridge is an upper-road parallel-string Warren truss bridge, which I remember crossing once when I first started touring dams.
Further in the distance, the abandoned Hanabusa Tunnel can be seen.
It would be nice to love these remains.

something secret

IMG_0707.jpg

Please check this out at the site. It is super cool! However, the smell is adequate, so if you are sensitive to smells, you may want to avoid it.

That's rough!

IMG_0748.jpg

Sorry. I was trying to imitate a statement that one person often says.
You may not be able to see it clearly because of the mosaic.
ロックフィルはちょっと・・・という方もいらっしゃるようですが、このアングルは”あり”ですよ。だってかっこいいんですもん!

Something Secret, Part 2

IMG_0763.jpg

Please check this site as well. By the way, this is another place to visit that has been requested.
I hope they are releasing it on the same day.

This concludes my report on the preview, but if you have already signed up to participate, please look forward to it!
If you have not yet applied, please do so as soon as possible!
