F (flood control, agricultural disaster prevention)

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

0606-Aimata Dam

Despite the small size of the dam, the facilities are quite extensive. Of course, there are many things to see and do. National Route 17 runs along the side of the dam lake, which was also called Mikuni Kaido in the old days, and it is said that Kenshin Uesugi also passed through here. Nearby is Sarugakyo Onsen, which would be a good base for sightseeing and touring the dam. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 67m

0623-Naramata Dam

When that huge dike covers your field of vision, you are already in a world of amazement. How could such a man-made structure exist so deep in the mountains! Incidentally, the Tokuyama Dam was the largest embankment in Japan before it was completed. It is now the second largest, but it is so huge that it doesn't matter anymore. Compared to the Tokuyama Dam, where you cannot go directly under the embankment, the Naramata Dam is a more friendly dam. / Rockfill dam / 158m

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

0605-Fujiwara Dam

Fujiwara Dam is the first high dam in the Okutone Dam complex. Although it has the use of power generation, it is not a stand-alone dam, but a pumped storage power generation dam with the upper dam, Tamahara Dam, and Fujiwara Dam is the lower dam. I saw this figure first from the downstream side, so I came straight to the downstream side. It is nice to be able to get a shot from the downstream side. / Gravity Concrete / 95m

0624-Yamba Dam

Entering Gunma from the Nagano Prefecture side, passing near Kusatsu Onsen, I had originally planned to go directly to the planned Yamba Dam construction site, but I noticed a public relations facility called the Yanbakan and made a hasty stop. The Yamba Dam has always been questioned as to whether it should be built or not, and even today it is a major issue that appears in newspaper articles, even in newspapers in the central part of Japan. / Gravity Concrete / 116m

1331-hasudamu

Oh man. Four years have passed since I visited this dam and my memory is quite fuzzy. I wonder how much I can remember. The lotus dam is one of those hard-to-read dams that is hard to read as "Hachisudamu". It was completed in 1991, and although it is located deep in the mountains, it has a lot to offer. / Gravity concrete / 78m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1306-Miyagawa Dam

The area is full of nature, and there is even a campground. In addition, there are 1,000 cherry trees planted around the dam lake, and a sightseeing boat on the dam lake...it has become a tourist attraction, but I could not feel the atmosphere in this weather. I would like to go back on a fine day. / Gravity Concrete / 88.5m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

1175-Miyakoda River Dam/Miyakoda River Dam

This dam was guided by Mr. Abebe. I remember it was unusually hot in July. / Rockfill / 55m

Shizuoka Prefecture Dam

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

1407-Hiyoshi Dam

The Hiyoshi Dam was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize in 1999. The design is well integrated with the surrounding area and is very well maintained, more so than any other dam I have seen. It is no wonder that architect Norihiko Dan designed this dam. There is so much to see and do at this dam. However, I was very disappointed that I visited on a day when the museum was closed. I would like to visit again at a later date. / Gravity Concrete / 67.4m

Kyoto Prefecture Dam

1573-Hase Dam / Nara Pref.

The name of this dammed lake was solicited from a local elementary school in Sakurai City, and it is called "Mahoroba Lake. Maybe if I were a snot-nosed elementary school student, I would not have thought of it. / Gravity Concrete / 55m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1569-Tenri Dam

The word "Tenri" reminds me of "Tenrikyo." I remember being taken to the headquarters as a child and kneeling in the hallway where the great monks passed by.... I also remember being treated well by the lady of the Tenrikyo Bunkyo-kai in my neighborhood, so I have a connection with Tenri in some way. So, I visited Tenri for the first time in about 20 years. Oyasama Miki must have been surprised to find that the place she visited for the first time in a long time was a dam. / Gravity Concrete / 60.5m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1568-Murodam

Muro Village is dotted with famous old temples, Muro-ji, Ono-ji, and Hase-ji. In the midst of these temples is this huge man-made structure, the Muro Dam. The crimson gate of the dam is very impressive, but the sights are a bit scarce. / Gravity Concrete / 63.5m

Nara Prefecture Dam

1365-Anegawa Dam

Ibuki-cho is located at the foot of the famous Mt. Ibuki, and the Anegawa Dam is deep within the town. As you can see, the silver grass was growing taller and the autumn leaves were just starting to change color on the mountains, making it a bit chilly. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 80.5m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1362-Usogawa Dam / Shiga Prefecture

Uzogawa Dam is located among the "Koto Sanzan" (three mountains in the Koto area): Ryueizan "Seimyoji Temple," Shobozan "Kongorinji Temple," and Shakayama "Hyakusaiji Temple," which are also famous for their autumn leaves. It may be a good idea to visit these temples when visiting the dam. Also, there are many national treasures and important cultural assets in the Koto Sanzan. / Rock fill / 56m

Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1330-Hinachi Dam

It is a thick-boned dam. But it is also somewhat feminine. It is a motherly dam. Well, here we are, at a dam in Mie Prefecture after a long absence, and it's 7:30 in the morning. It was 7:30 in the morning, and it had been a long time since I visited a dam in the morning. It was when the cherry blossoms were about to fall. Anyway, it is huge. It's been a long time since I've seen a gravity dam this big. / Gravity concrete / 70.5m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

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

1074-Obuchi disaster prevention reservoir/Kobuchi Bousai Tameike

The prime minister is "Obuchi," but the dam is "Kobuchi. Moreover, on the map, it is called "Obuchi Dam," but in the dam handbook, it is called "Obuchi Disaster Prevention Reservoir. Incidentally, there is a dam called "Koizumi Dam" in Tajimi City, a neighbor of Kani City. And, to make matters tougher, there are two dams, No. 1 and No. 2. (This has nothing to do with this issue...) / Rockfill / 18.38m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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
