1092-Takeori Disaster Prevention Dam

This is a rather eccentric earth dam with a road in the center of the embankment, standing quietly so as not to be noticed as a dam. The distance between the flood discharge ramp and the bridge is short, so when the water is discharged, you will be able to see it very closely. I don't think a large amount of water will be discharged, but in the event of a large flood, it may turn into a roadside river. / Earth dam / 17.2m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1291-Mochikoshi Pond

I remember the weather was quite bad and it rained on and off, sometimes very hard. I think it is unavoidable because it rains a lot in this area, but I would prefer sunny days if at all possible. However, rainy days are not so bad either, as they have their own charm. / earth / 16m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1220-Miyoshiike/Miyoshiike

The dam itself is small, but the lake is large in comparison. The dam lake is used as a training ground for canoeing, and competitions are held there from time to time. The gymnasium is also located next to the dam, indicating that the entire area is planned to be a comprehensive sports park. / earth / 19.7m

The Saigu Regulating Pond is planned to increase the water storage capacity by combining the Saigu Pond with the adjacent Soda Pond, which is scheduled to be completed by 2010, but at the time of this interview, construction had not yet begun. / Earth / 16m

1318-Kamiji Dam

Amano-Iwato, where Amaterasu is said to have shut herself away, is located further upstream from this dam. The weather is so bad that we think Amaterasu must have retreated to Amano-Iwato at this very moment.... / earth / 29.6m

1311-Yamasato Oike/Yamasato Oike

In the dam handbook, the location is listed as "Hokusei-cho Yamago," and the name of the place did not exist due to rezoning or something, but if you trace the name of the nearby Yamago Elementary School and pond on the map, the characters are different, but it is "皷" which probably refers to this place. / Earth / 22m

1300-Inabe Oike

The height of the embankment is just 15 meters, which is just barely the standard for a dam, but it exists as a place of recreation for the citizens of Inabe. Therefore, there were many visitors and many fishermen. I am very envious that there is such a park in the town. / Earth / 15m

1323-Nakazato Dam

Nakasato Dam is located near the source of water for the Mie Water Supply under the control of the Japan Water Agency (former Japan Water Development Corporation), and serves to guide water when the water in the Miyagawa, Komono, and Kasato dams' regulating reservoirs is insufficient. In other words, it is the parent of these dams. / Earth / 46m

1124-Tazawa disaster prevention dam

I am not sure if fishing is prohibited or not, but the bank is basically a no-go area. However, I don't think there are that many fish... This is a free overflow type of overflow discharge. It is a relatively simple structure. / earth / 29.5m

1098-Sakashima River Disaster Prevention Dam (Ryugin Dam)

It is like a large park and there are many things to see and do around the area. There is a waterfall, a cart driving range a short distance away, and the sound of explosions echoing all the way around the dam. I actually went to see the cart driving range, and when I found out it was a cart driving range, I thought, "What the heck...," but it was quite interesting just to watch. I highly recommend going to see it in combination with a visit to the dam. / Earth / 19.7m

1242-Iruka Ike / Aichi, Japan

I didn't know there was a dam in a place like this! I was honestly surprised. This dam is located next to "Meiji-mura," which is usually visited by people who grew up in Aichi Prefecture on social tours. Please be assured that you do not need to pay an admission fee to the Meiji-Mura when you visit the dam. / Rockfill / 25.7m

This dam is located near Irago, famous for Toson Shimazaki's "Palm Fruit," and is the final reservoir for the Toyokawa River water supply. The Toyokawa Irrigation Project was initiated to alleviate the chronic shortage of water in the Higashimikawa region. Although the dam is not very large in scale, it plays an important role in alleviating water shortages in the Higashimikawa region. / earth / 22.5m

0698-Sagamihara Sedimentation Pond

Sagamihara Sedimentation Site, a dam dedicated to waterworks sedimentation site. On the map, it is called the "Yokohama Waterworks Sedimentation Pond. As the name suggests, it is located on the Yokohama Waterworks that carries water from the Sagami River to Yokohama, and is a facility that performs sedimentation treatment of impurities in the water. Because the dam is located within the prefectural Sagamihara Park, it has been designated as one of the "50 best bird-watching spots in Kanagawa" and is an excellent spot for bird-watching. / Earth dam / 18.5m
