Hikihara Dam is a Hyogo Prefecture-owned gravity concrete dam located in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The dam site is equipped with a parking lot. Valuable remains from the time of construction have been preserved and can be viewed freely. The embankment can be seen from downstream, so it is a highly recommended dam. / Gravity concrete dam / 66m

Tono Dam, located in Tottori Prefecture, is a multi-purpose rock-fill dam under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Its main features are a cascade-type flood discharge and an airlock-type continuous siphon intake system. We visited the dam site six hours after receiving information that the test discharge was about to start, but unfortunately it was a day too early and we were not allowed to enter the dam site.... / Rockfill dam / 75m

Ashizu Dam, located on the way to Mitaki Dam, a buttress dam, is a 12.7m high weir that dams up the reverse control basin of the Ashizu Power Plant of Chugoku Electric Power Co. We encountered three hydroelectric power plants on the way to this dam. The abundance of water in the river here must have made it attractive for use in hydroelectric power generation. / Gravity concrete dam / 12.7m

Sugita Dam is a dedicated power generation dam owned by Kochi Prefecture, and apparently also serves to reverse the peak load flow of the Nagase and Yoshino power plants located upstream. The maximum authorized output is 11,500 kW, which is the amount of electricity used by about 15,000 average households in a year. There were also some events that made me feel the good-naturedness of Shikoku. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 44m

For me, this place could be a sacred place. The Hayamoura Dam was the object of my highest longing. It reminded me of the time when I first became a dam maniac and had my heart set on the Kurobe Dam (Toyama). However, unlike those days, I have seen many dams, but this is the legendary Hayamyoura Dam. I can't help but be reminded of it. / Gravity concrete dam / 106m
