Kiso River System

1220-Miyoshiike/Miyoshiike

The dam itself is small, but the lake is large in comparison. The dam lake is used as a training ground for canoeing, and competitions are held there from time to time. The gymnasium is also located next to the dam, indicating that the entire area is planned to be a comprehensive sports park. / earth / 19.7m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1323-Nakazato Dam

Nakasato Dam is located near the source of water for the Mie Water Supply under the control of the Japan Water Agency (former Japan Water Development Corporation), and serves to guide water when the water in the Miyagawa, Komono, and Kasato dams' regulating reservoirs is insufficient. In other words, it is the parent of these dams. / Earth / 46m

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

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

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 Gifu Prefecture

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

1106-Takane No.2 Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It can be found by driving National Route 361 east of Akigami Dam or west of Takane No. 1 Dam. The lower part of the dam is used for pumped storage power generation between the Takane No. 1 Dam and the Akigami Dam. / Hollow gravity concrete / 69m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1105-Takane Daiichi Dam / Gifu Prefecture

It is located along Route 361 between Takayama and Kisofukushima. When I went there, it was quite deserted with no one around. I guess you could call it an unexplored region. It is quite dangerous in winter. If you are not used to snow-covered roads, it is safer not to go there. / Arch / 133m

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

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

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

1115-Mazegawa No.2 Dam

If you are coming from the Nagoya area, take National Route 41, turn onto National Route 256 at the Shimo-Myoki-cho intersection, and turn onto Prefectural Route 86, and you will soon find the Mazegawa Second Dam. The photo was taken in the early morning haze, so it is a little hard to see, but please bear with me... / Gravity Concrete / 44.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1065-Nishimura Dam

Going north from the Iwaya Dam and going straight on Prefectural Road 431 without crossing the Maze Bridge, you will find the Nishimura Dam on the left. This was not in our original plan, but we had no idea that there was a dam in such a place, and we decided to cover it on short notice. / Gravity Concrete / 19.5m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1075-Kuze Dam / Gifu Prefecture

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 continue north this time on Route 303. After passing the Kuse Village Office, you will see the building on your right. / Gravity Concrete / 34m

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

1068-Nishidaira Dam

It took me a little time to find this dam. It would have been easy to find it from the prefectural road side on the right bank, but I photographed it from the national road side on the left bank, and also from a residential road off the national road. / Gravity Concrete / 31.5m
