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 Mie Prefecture

1316-Shorenji Dam

If you want a clear view downstream, bring your own stepladder. But be careful not to be mistaken for the Seirenji Dam. It looks somewhat like the slightly smaller Yahagi Dam or Amagase Dam. / Arch / 82m

Dam in Mie Prefecture

0000-Shimomura Dam

Kamiyasaki-cho was hit hard by the Tokai torrential rainfall in September 2000 (also known as the Enan torrential rainfall in some areas). The Shimomura Dam was originally a fixed weir, but it was replaced by a rubber dam after it was breached in addition to causing more damage from the torrential rain in Tokai. The height of the embankment is less than 15 meters, so technically it is not a dam, but we decided to include it here because it is rare. / Rubber dam / 4.3m

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

1099-Oshirakawa Dam

The Ooshirakawa Dam is reached from the Mimogai Dam using Prefectural Road 451, which should be easy to find since it is the end of Prefectural Road 451. However, the prefectural road is narrow, so you need to be a little careful when passing through. The road is also closed in winter. The Ooshirakawa Hot Springs are located in front of the dam embankment and are crowded with many leisure travelers. The dam is located behind the hot spring. / Rockfill / 95m

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 Gifu 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 Aichi Prefecture

1108-Yahagi Dam (Yahagi Daiichi Dam)

During the touring season, the number of motorcycles is very high and the number of visitors has increased considerably due to the recent dam boom. The embankment is also accessible to automobiles and serves as a bridge. Come to think of it, I once saw a "wild boar" near the dam around spring. Please be careful... / arch / 100m

Dam in Aichi 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

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

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

1095-Miboro Dam

I can think of no other rock-fill dams as good as this one, except for the Mimogai Dam and the Tedorigawa Dam. The dam side park on the downstream side of the dam is also magnificent, but I don't think you can really appreciate the enormity of the dam from there alone. The damside park located downstream of the dam is also magnificent, but you cannot get a sense of the enormity of the dam just from the damside park, so I highly recommend a visit to the embankment. / Rockfill / 131m

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
