Ouenwa Dam

The Ouenwa Dam is a fictional dam that was the setting for Yuichi Shimpo's suspense novel "Whiteout," which was also made into a movie. It is supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Nagami Power Station of the North Japan Electric Power Co. The model in the novel is Okutadami Dam (0500-Okutadami Dam), but Kurobe Dam (0848-Kurobe Dam) was used for the film location.

0571-kawaji dam

It is the fourth tallest arch dam in Japan, and the catwalk can be visited. It is indeed a dam full of attractions. Of course, it is not only a sight to see, but it also works wonderfully and is an important base for protecting the downstream Kinugawa River. Protecting the Kinu River means protecting the urban areas downstream. We must not forget that. / Arch dam / 140m

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

0563-kawamata dam

Kawamata Dam is the longest vertical arch dam in Japan, tucked away in the midst of nature. It is also characterized by its compactness and various structures in a narrow space. The details here and there on the embankment are eye-catching. Also, since it is a long walk from the parking lot, it is a physical challenge to visit. / Arch dam / 117m

Tochigi Prefecture Dam

1126-Kawaura Dam/Kaore Dam

In many ways, I'm sorry if I got your hopes up! The Kawaura Dam is located upstream of the Kami-Osu Dam. The dam lake formed by the Kawaura Surabu Dam and this dam together is the upper regulating reservoir (upper pond), and the dam lake formed by the Kami-Osu Dam is the lower regulating reservoir (lower pond), and pumped storage power is generated between them. The effective drop-off is said to be as high as 486 meters.

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

0612-Yagisawa Dam

The Yagisawa Dam is an arch-type dam in the Okutone Dam Group, and it boasts of its gigantic size. It is the Yagisawa Dam. It is built in a secluded area of Okutone, and no one is allowed to enter beyond this point. / Arch / 131m

1403-Amagase Dam

I visited this dam after I went to "Lake Biwa Wan Wan Kingdom" because it was going to be closed. It is a very old-fashioned dam, just like Kyoto. Byodoin Temple is very close to the dam, so it would be a good idea to visit there as well. By the way, there is another dam called "Kisenyama Dam" nearby, but unfortunately you cannot enter. / Arch / 73m

Kyoto Prefecture Dam

1316-Shorenji Dam

If you want a clear view downstream, bring your own stepladder. But be careful not to be mistaken for the Seirenji Dam. It looks somewhat like the slightly smaller Yahagi Dam or Amagase Dam. / Arch / 82m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1108-Yahagi Dam (Yahagi Daiichi Dam)

During the touring season, the number of motorcycles is very high and the number of visitors has increased considerably due to the recent dam boom. The embankment is also accessible to automobiles and serves as a bridge. Come to think of it, I once saw a "wild boar" near the dam around spring. Please be careful... / arch / 100m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1105-高根第一ダム（たかねだいいちだむ）/ 岐阜県

It is located along Route 361 between Takayama and Kisofukushima. When I went there, it was quite deserted with no one around. I guess you could call it an unexplored region. It is quite dangerous in winter. If you are not used to snow-covered roads, it is safer not to go there. / Arch / 133m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1021-Kobushi Dam

The Kosibu Dam is the first arch-type dam in the Chubu region. It has been a long time since the Kurobe Dam, and this was my first visit to a large arch-type dam. However, on this day, maintenance work was being carried out on the gates, so we could not go beyond the center of the top edge... There are 5 crest gates, 2 coaster gates, and 2 conduit gates. / Arch / 105m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1017-Susohana Dam

The season is February. It was the middle of winter. Although this is my favorite winter dam, there were avalanches here and there on the road, and the dam site and top edge were completely frozen, creating a dangerous atmosphere. Three radial gates can be seen in the crest section. / Arch / 83m
