Shizuoka Prefecture Dam
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1166-Sasama River Dam
Kawane hot springs and a roadside station are nearby dams where you can see the SL of Oigawa Railway. Maybe a footbath after a stroll would be nice. This dam is used for power generation by Chubu Electric Power Company, and water taken from the Shiogo Dam on the main stream of the Oigawa River also flows here. / Gravity concrete dam / 46.35m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1170-Harano valley river dam
A working "dry dam" to control flooding. However, there was plenty of water, perhaps because it was the season of melting snow. I would have liked to see a dry dam, but the dam was functioning well. / Gravity concrete dam / 31m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1174-Funaki Dam/Funagira Dam
The area around the embankment has been turned into an athletic park. It is a small dam, but a picnic with like-minded friends and family is a good idea. The lowest power generation dam of the rampaging Tenryu. / Gravity concrete dam / 24.5m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1163-Akiba Dam
The power generation dam on the Tenryu River, which has a suspension bridge downstream and can be viewed directly from the bridge. As for the reading of this dam, some people involved in power supply development read it as "Akiha," while others pronounce it muddled as "Akiba," so which is true.... In the Japan Dam Association's dam handbook, it is "Akiha. Well, let's leave it as "Akiha". / Gravity concrete dam / 89m
Shizuoka Prefecture Dam1160-Sakuma Dam
Without this dam, we can't talk about Kurobe Dam! It is a very famous dam. At the time of its construction, it boasted the highest embankment height and the largest amount of electricity generated in Japan. The design of the water intake also has a retro atmosphere. The Sakuma Dam was completed in three years, instead of 10 years, using second-hand large construction equipment imported from the United States. This is also said to be the first of its kind in Japan. / Gravity concrete dam / 155.5m
Dam in Toyama Prefecture0824-Obara Dam/Obara Dam
From the Gokayama IC on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, drive east on Route 156. There is also a PR exhibition hall nearby, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to cover it.... / Gravity Concrete / 52m
Dam in Toyama Prefecture0861-Akao Dam
Off-limits dam located next to "Kamidaira" Roadside Station, northward from Sakai River Dam back to Route 156. / Gravity concrete / 29.2m
Dam in Toyama Prefecture0870-Sakaigawa Dam / Toyama Prefecture
After passing through the tunnel, there was a dam. The dam is quite spectacular, as it is suddenly visible after passing through the tunnel. Since it is a relatively new dam, the surrounding area is well maintained, making it a great place for a drive. / Gravity concrete dam / 115m
Fukui Prefecture Dam0941-Butsuhara Dam/Hotokubara Dam
Located along Route 158, it is very easy to find, but it is a small dam, so you may pass by it if you are driving in a daze. / Gravity Concrete / 48.6m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam0699-Doshi Dam / Kanagawa Prefecture
The design of the parapet, the moss stuck to the embankment, the water that does not decay even after crossing the equator.... Located on the border between Kanagawa and Yamanashi Prefectures, the dam is easy to find because a prefectural road runs along the top of the dam. 3 roller gates are the main feature of the dam, and although it is small, the design of the parapet tells of the good old days. / Gravity concrete dam / 32.8m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam0697-sagami dam
This dam is located on Lake Sagami, one of the most popular leisure spots in the Kanto area. The roads around the dam were crowded with people. However, the area around the embankment was extremely deserted and even had a desolate atmosphere. The only people around the embankment were us and some boys who were fishing. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 58.4m
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam3243-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 Dam0696-Numamoto Dam
This is a phantom dam that sinks when the water level of Lake Tsukui, dammed by the Shiroyama Dam, rises. It is almost invisible because it is covered with grass and trees, but I could see that it is actually submerged. The height of the embankment is supposed to be 25.5 meters, but it does not seem high at all. The top of the embankment is supposed to be 126m long, but you don't feel its length. / 25.5m / Gravity Concrete
Kanagawa Prefecture Dam0700-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 Dam0703-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
Tokyo Dam0692-Ogouchi Dam
First time on our site! A dam in Tokyo. Well, when you think about it, we have come a long way. But it was almost on the border of Yamanashi Prefecture (lol). As one would expect from the capital of Japan, there were a lot of people there. I mean, Lake Okutama was a man-made lake created by the Ogouchi Dam. / Gravity Concrete / 149m
