Dam in Toyama Prefecture

0853-Touri Dam

A dam with a sunken village at the bottom of a lake with an unusual orange-colored catwalk. I was glad to have met this dam at the end of my first day of dam coverage during my trip to Kanazawa. / Arch dam / 101m
Dam in Ishikawa Prefecture

0920-Tedorigawa Dam

One of Japan's leading rockfill dams with excellent facilities. For this report, we arrived from Kanazawa via Route 157. The area around the dam is rich in tourist attractions, such as the Hakusan Super Ring Road, so the dam is also a tourist attraction and has a drive-in element. / Rockfill dam / 153m
Fukui Prefecture Dam

0942-Kuzuryu Dam / Fukui Prefecture

Kuzuryu Dam is one of the most famous rock-fill dams in Japan, so it is probably a major dam for people living in the Chubu and Hokuriku regions. If you are coming from Aichi or Gifu, simply take the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway from the Shirotori IC to the Aburasaka IC on the Aburasaka Pass Road (Chubu Jukan Expressway), and then drive along Route 158. / Rockfill dam / 128.0m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam

3243-Miyagase sub-dam (Ishigoya dam)

Located on the Miyagase Dam site, it is a natural place to visit if you visit the Miyagase Dam. It is not just a sub-dam. It is a perfect dam that serves as a reverse regulating reservoir for a power plant, maintains the water level for the water supply, reduces the force of water discharge from the Miyagase Dam, and even generates electricity. It is not a sub-dam that should be kicked out of existence. It is a dam that works superbly. / Gravity concrete dam / 34.5m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam

0700-Shiroyama Dam

Because Shiroyama Dam is close to central Tokyo and to Sagami Lake, which most leisure-seekers in the Kanto region have visited, the surrounding roads are very busy with cars on their way to the dam. National Highway 413 runs above the top of the temple, which may be the only national highway in Japan with such a heavy traffic volume. / Gravity Concrete / 75m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam

0703-Miyagase Dam

A dam open to the community in Kanagawa Prefecture. Miyagase Dam has been developed on a really large scale and offers a wide range of tourist facilities. The Miyagase lakeside parkland has not only a park, but also a shopping area, where visitors can have a meal. There is also a souvenir shop where visitors can purchase local specialties. / Gravity concrete dam / 156m
