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

1133-Kosato River Dam/Origawa Dam

...I regret that I should have taken more photos. Especially the inside of the administration building and the Korijo Bridge are important, aren't they? If I have a chance to go back, I will take pictures. Hi. I think the facility is good in all ◎ but. / Gravity Concrete / 114m

1127-Agigawa Dam

By all means, drive around the dam lake as well as the embankment. There is a water park, putting golf course, cottages (I heard you can stay overnight), free tennis court (although no one uses it...), etc. It is very well-developed. I heard that you can eat Hida beef at the nearby Tono Farm. They also have a cave... / Rockfill / 101.5m

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

1084-Maruyama Dam

The surrounding roads are narrow, so those who are not accustomed to narrow roads may have some difficulty. However, the road is being widened in connection with the construction of the new Maruyama Dam, so when the dam is completed, the area may be somewhat more crowded as a tourist attraction. If you want to visit the new Maruyama Dam, it is the best time to visit because it will be gone when the new dam is completed. / Gravity Concrete / 98.2m

2952-Iwamura Dam

The best rural scenery in Japan, a female lord of a castle...such an image is attached to Iwamura-cho. But I think "Japan's best farming village scenery" is an accurate description. The atmosphere is very tranquil, as an old man strolling near the dam casually greeted me. / Gravity Concrete / 35.8m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

3013-Ogadoho Dam

The park is very beautifully maintained, but even though it is close to the national highway, the access road is not very good, so there will probably be few tourists. Also, the access road is too narrow, and I felt that the dam site is not a place where one can enjoy nature to the fullest because it is too well maintained. / Gravity Concrete / 42.5m

1116-Iwaya Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It was just the time of year for autumn foliage, and the fiery red colored leaves were impressive. Living in the Chubu area, "Asuke" comes to mind when I think of autumn foliage, but I also recommend the traffic jam-free Iwaya Dam. / Rockfill / 127.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1096-Yokoyama Dam

Get off at the Ogaki IC of the Meishin Expressway, drive north on Route 258, turn left at the intersection with Route 21, turn right at the Kawama intersection, continue north on Route 417, turn left at the Showa-machi intersection, and now continue north on Route 303. Turn left at the Showa-machi intersection and continue north on Route 303, passing the Kuse Village Office and Kuse Dam. / Hollow gravity concrete / 80.8m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1130-Tokuyama Dam

Along with the Kawabegawa Dam in Kyushu, it is one of the dams whose construction is being questioned. When we visited the site, we found that the construction work was progressing surprisingly well, and we could even imagine what the embankment would look like after completion. When completed, it will have the highest total storage capacity in Japan, the third highest embankment height, the second largest embankment volume, and the third largest water area. / Rockfill / 161m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

3126-Kise Dam

It is a relatively new dam and has basic facilities as it is "open to the community". As a small dam, I personally did not expect much, but it seems to be a good spot to enjoy barbecue parties and fishing. / Gravity Concrete / 33m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1010-Miwa Dam / Nagano Pref.

The lower right bank was completely dried up and what looked like an incline in the back was not functioning. The real problem is not so much that it has dried up, but rather that the sediment is very bad. / Gravity Concrete / 69.1m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

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

3042-Ameyamatamu

The facilities are standard, but very quiet. The access road is not well-developed, and it is not listed on some maps, or is not prominent at all. It is a hidden character in the Mikawa region. / Gravity Concrete / 21.5m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1024-Matsugawa Dam

The composting problem unique to the Tenryu River system is also present in this Matsukawa Dam. Currently, the Matsukawa Dam redevelopment project is underway. There were signs about it here and there along the road leading to the Matsukawa Dam. / Gravity Concrete / 84.3m

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

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1035-Miso River Dam

Since it is upstream of the Kiso River, it was named "Miso River" because it "has not yet become the Soso River," or "has not yet become the Kiso River. / Rockfill / 140m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1033-Yokogawa Dam / Nagano Pref.

The dam lake is frozen solid. It looks thickly frozen, but I think it is actually thin, so skating is definitely not allowed. Even though it was frozen, the water was discharged from the gate. / Gravity Concrete / 41m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1034-Minowa Dam

The first dam of the "Sudden New Year's Day Dam Tour". Originally, I was just heading north to enjoy the snow drive! So we just kept going north, but when we saw the word "dam," we headed there on our own. / Gravity Concrete / 72m
