Reference photo■ Yokoyama Dam Fantasy Hall
The photos that follow are for reference only, including the location of the tour. They may differ from the actual tour, in which case we ask for your understanding.
First of all, here are some pictures of the Yokoyama Dam Hollow, although they were taken during the 50th anniversary event, so they are different from the actual conditions, but I am sure you will be able to visit the Hollow. Actually, the details of the tour course are unknown. But considering the meeting place...(mystery)
Reference photo■Tokuyama Dam Curry
It is a dam curry in the so-called "release roux" method. The photo is from a few years ago, but the ingredients seem to change as the years go by. We hope you enjoy it too!
Reference photo■Tour of the Tokuyama Dam audit corridor
At the Tokuyama Dam, we will visit the audit corridor. Please look forward to seeing the real thing on the day of the tour! Until then, please squint your eyes and keep your imagination up by looking at this mosaic photo!

Thank you very much.
So please come safely on the day of the event!
Rain is forecast for the day of the event. I am very sorry. (If you want to know why I am apologizing, please ask me directly.)
Especially at Tokuyama Dam, there is a possibility of snow. According to the Tokuyama Hall staff, in the past 10 years, there has never been so much snow in November that it is impossible to climb uphill, but it is advisable to wear studless tires or chains.
In the unlikely event that snow accumulation or other difficulties make travel difficult on the day of the event, please contact us via Twitter (@dampedia) or email (info@dampedia.com).
As for ordering meals at Tokuyama Kaikan, please order from the ticket vending machine. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please place your order by yourself.
So please come safely on the day of the event!
＞Dear participants
Thank you very much for joining us today!
The gathering was held in the cold and rain, but thanks to everyone's cooperation, it ended without incident.
As we are now entering the winter season, the next meeting will probably be held in the spring or later, but we hope you will join us again when the next meeting is held!
Thank you very much for your time today.
It was my first time participating and it was a lot of fun.
I was very impressed because I was able to visit places that are unique to enthusiasts.
We look forward to the next one.
Thank you very much!
We have had surprises like this in the past, and even though it is difficult for an individual, it is possible for a group of enthusiasts... so we hope that you will have the opportunity to join us again in the future!
Thank you for your continued support!
Thank you for yesterday.
It was so much fun that the cold and sleeting rain blew away the cold and sleet.
Thank you very much!
An unexpected surprise at the last minute! That certainly blew away the cold and rain! We hope you will join us again next time!
