Sayama Pond Dam is the oldest earth dam in Japan, a reservoir that has been passed down from generation to generation since the 7th century, and now serves not only as an earth dam for farmers, but also to protect the lives and property of citizens, and has been transformed into a place for birds and citizens to relax. It will be passed on to the next generation for another 100 to 200 years. / Earth dam /18.5m

Hikihara Dam is a Hyogo Prefecture-owned gravity concrete dam located in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The dam site is equipped with a parking lot. Valuable remains from the time of construction have been preserved and can be viewed freely. The embankment can be seen from downstream, so it is a highly recommended dam. / Gravity concrete dam / 66m

Tono Dam, located in Tottori Prefecture, is a multi-purpose rock-fill dam under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Its main features are a cascade-type flood discharge and an airlock-type continuous siphon intake system. We visited the dam site six hours after receiving information that the test discharge was about to start, but unfortunately it was a day too early and we were not allowed to enter the dam site.... / Rockfill dam / 75m

1683-Momodani Dam

The Momoya Dam is a gravity concrete dam owned by Tottori Prefecture for flood control and unspecified water use. It is also the first dam in Japan to have a free overflow crest, and its large flood discharge protruding from the lake side is very impressive. Normally, this dam does not store much water, but in the event of a flood, this shape seems to have been adopted in order to efficiently channel the water. / Gravity concrete dam / 18m

We arrived at the Takigawa Dam. Approaching from an empty main street, the embankment can be glimpsed at the end of a curve. The Taki River Dam is a gravity-type concrete dam built in the Takayama area of Iga City on the Taki River, a small branch of the Hijiki River, a branch of the Kizu River, a branch of the Yodo River system.

The Hino River Dam is properly a gravel fill dam (more precisely, a central core gravel fill dam), which is not made of larger stones like a rock-fill dam, but of raised gravel. The dam is loved by the local people as a place for recreation such as fishing and walking, and even though it is small in scale, it works well...that is the image of this dam. / Rockfill dam / 25m

3601-Hinogawa Wakidamu

I had intended to put them together as the Hino River Dam, but when I looked at the dam handbook, etc., I discovered that there was a side dam, and I had to sort through the photos in a hurry.... However, it is difficult to determine where the Hino River Dam begins and ends at the side dam, and since I did not intend to take these photographs in the first place, there is a possibility that my memory is mistaken. / Earth dam / 19m

2322-Sameura Dam

For me, this place could be a sacred place. The Hayamoura Dam was the object of my highest longing. It reminded me of the time when I first became a dam maniac and had my heart set on the Kurobe Dam (Toyama). However, unlike those days, I have seen many dams, but this is the legendary Hayamyoura Dam. I can't help but be reminded of it. / Gravity concrete dam / 106m

The Ota River Dam is a gravity-fed concrete dam operated by Shizuoka Prefecture and was completed in 2008. I expected to see the pure white embankment, but it was a little too dark. I would like to revisit the dam again someday and report on it. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 70m

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

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
