Nara 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

1577-Kamitsu Dam / Nara Pref.

I took Meihan National Highway (Route 25) to visit Universal Studios Japan, and I stopped by on my way home. The approach to the site is relatively easy to find, as you can see the signboard when you get off the Yamazoe IC of the Meihan National Highway and drive west on Nara Prefectural Road No. 80. / Gravity Concrete / 63.5m
Dam in Shiga Prefecture

1351-Inukami River Dam

From the Hikone IC, take National Route 306 south, pass through Taga-taisha Shrine, and drive along a long, narrow prefectural road until you see the Inukami Dam. The village downstream of the Inukami Dam has a very nice atmosphere. However, despite the atmosphere, there are about three men on a motor scooter blowing a cigarette on the embankment... / Gravity Concrete / 45m
Dam in Shiga Prefecture

0000-kyokutani dam/magatani dam

Located downstream of the Anegawa Dam, it can be found on the way to the downstream park of the Anegawa Dam. I originally did not know this dam existed, but it is as if I discovered it during my coverage of the Anegawa Dam. However, it is well fenced in and quite closed. / Gravity concrete / 9.9m
Dam in Shiga Prefecture

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 Mie Prefecture

1314-Misetani Dam

We had heard that the dam was devastated by Typhoon No. 21 that struck in 2004. We conducted our interview under cloudy skies that seemed to bring back memories of the past. The building that was once the control center has completely rotted away. / Gravity Concrete / 39m
Dam in Mie 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 Gifu Prefecture

0833-narude dam

It is located on the border between Gifu and Toyama prefectures, northward on Route 156. I suddenly came across this dam during a trip to Kanazawa. I was happy to find such a strange dam, as it is not on any map I have. This area is intertwined with Gifu and Toyama prefectures, so the national highway changes from one prefecture to the other. This is an interesting experience that is difficult to experience if you live on the plains. / Gravity Concrete / 53.2m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1083-Asahi Dam

No one visits along the old road, which is far from the national highway. Moreover, the old road entrance on the other side of the dam is closed to traffic and can only be entered from one side, making it even more deserted. I would like to visit this dam in winter if possible. I think the road will be closed in a different way by then... This dam reminds me of the Akigami Dam in some way. When I came close to the dam, I thought it might be the Akigami Dam. It looks so similar to the Akigami Dam that I thought it might be the Akigami Dam when I came near it. / Gravity Concrete / 87m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1059-Ochiai Dam

The second dam built on the Kiso River, located at the foot of Mt. It was awarded the "Japan's Modern Civil Engineering Heritage - 2000 Most Important Civil Engineering Structures in Existence". Ochiai Dam seems to be the second historical dam built on the Kiso River. Perhaps anecdotes around Daido Power Company and Momosuke Fukuzawa... / Gravity Concrete / 33.3m
Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1227-Yahagi No.2 Dam/Yahagi Dam

Yahagi No. 2 Dam is located downstream from Yahagi No. 1 Dam. Since many runners and bikers drive along the lakeshore road, I hesitated to park every time and could not easily take pictures, but I took the plunge. The water in the dam lake is very muddy due to heavy rain until the previous day. / Gravity Concrete / 38m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1080-tsubakihara dam / Gifu Prefecture

A dam that is tightly gated. Like the Omaki Dam, I was only able to take one picture of this dam.... It was extremely difficult to take pictures because the gate is tightly closed as if the dam hates us. / Gravity Concrete / 68.2m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1088-Hatogaya Dam (Ohmaki Dam)

It is located 12-13 km north of Mimogi Dam on Route 156 in a straight line. Shirakawa-go, a famous World Heritage site with its Gassho-zukuri style of architecture, is nearby, and there are many sightseeing buses on the nearby roads. / Gravity Concrete / 63.2m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1097-Kuguno Dam

It is a very small dam that does not even appear on maps. It is also located along an old road, so it seems to stand quietly. The Kunano Dam seems to be managed remotely from the control center of the Akigami Dam. There was a telemeter-related device nearby. / Gravity Concrete / 26.7m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1085-Akigami Dam

To reach Akigami Dam this time, we took Prefectural Route 87 from Kunano Town on National Route 41, turned right at the intersection of Timely and drove along National Route 361. If the weather was fine, we could see Mt. Norikura in the vicinity of Kunano Town. The weather was calm and windless, and there were no waves on the surface of the lake, so I was able to photograph the "upside-down dam" instead of "upside-down Fuji. / Gravity Concrete / 74m
Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1070-Kaneyama Dam / Gifu Prefecture

To get to the dam, head toward Yaotsu-cho from National Route 41 at the Moriyama 3-chome intersection and drive along Prefectural Route 350, and you will see a signboard, making it easy to find. The dam is located downstream of the Maruyama Dam, and although it is not very high, the many gates are quite spectacular. / Gravity Concrete / 36.3m
Dam in Gifu 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
