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

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

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

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

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

1125-Kamiosu Dam/Kamiosu Dam

To reach Kamiosu Dam, get off at the Seki IC of the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, drive east on Route 248, and turn left at that intersection after getting off the elevated road. Go north on Prefectural Road No. 17, turn left at the Ohdoro intersection, and continue west on National Road No. 418 toward Kyu-Neo Village, famous for its Usuzumi cherry blossoms. Once in the former Nebo Village, turn right on the first Prefectural Road 255. Follow the road the rest of the way. / Rockfill / 98m

1130-Tokuyama Dam

Along with the Kawabegawa Dam in Kyushu, it is one of the dams whose construction is being questioned. When we visited the site, we found that the construction work was progressing surprisingly well, and we could even imagine what the embankment would look like after completion. When completed, it will have the highest total storage capacity in Japan, the third highest embankment height, the second largest embankment volume, and the third largest water area. / Rockfill / 161m

Dam in Gifu Prefecture

0000-Sasado weir

The Sasado weir is an intake weir that leads water to the Sasado Power Plant about 6 to 7 km downstream from here. Therefore, the "Sasado" of Sasado weir seems to have been named after the power plant, not after the place. As proof of this, the area around this weir is called "Kowatari. / Gravity Concrete

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

0000-hyakketsu dam/duzuki dam

To reach Momotsuki Dam, drive National Route 153 toward Asuke if you are coming from Toyota City, and go straight north on Prefectural Route 11 without crossing the Hirado Bridge. It is not a dam in the narrow sense of the word, as the embankment height is no more than 15 meters. / Gravity Concrete

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

0000-asuri dam

When driving along the upper reaches of the Yahagi River on Prefectural Road 11 from Toyota City, you will see it on your right. The dam (weir) is small in size but has a distinctive red gate. The dam (weir) is equipped with a fish passage, which seems to be environmentally friendly, but it is unknown how many fish actually pass through it. Since the height of the embankment is less than 15 m, it is treated as a weir. / Gravity Concrete

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1199-Koshido Dam

The area around the dam is called "Kanpachi Gorge," which used to be a scenic spot famous for its cherry blossoms. However, although there are remnants of the old days, the area is not as bustling as it used to be, and it is deserted. Even cars speeding down the national highway pass through here without a care in the world. At most, people come here to take a walk or go jogging. / Gravity Concrete / 22.8m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1230-Tominaga Dam

It is small in scale and is not even shown on maps, so it is a dam that stands quietly and unnoticed. The Kuroda Dam and the Yahagi Dam are conspicuous, making it look like a middle-management window-dweller. / Gravity Concrete / 32.5m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1231-Kuroda Dam

If you are coming from the Nagoya area, turn right at the Odaki intersection on Route 153. The dam itself is very large and there are many points of interest, so it is best to take your time. / Gravity Concrete / 45.2m

Dam in Aichi Prefecture

1010-Miwa Dam / Nagano Pref.

The lower right bank was completely dried up and what looked like an incline in the back was not functioning. The real problem is not so much that it has dried up, but rather that the sediment is very bad. / Gravity Concrete / 69.1m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1021-Kobushi Dam

The Kosibu Dam is the first arch-type dam in the Chubu region. It has been a long time since the Kurobe Dam, and this was my first visit to a large arch-type dam. However, on this day, maintenance work was being carried out on the gates, so we could not go beyond the center of the top edge... There are 5 crest gates, 2 coaster gates, and 2 conduit gates. / Arch / 105m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1017-Susohana Dam

The season is February. It was the middle of winter. Although this is my favorite winter dam, there were avalanches here and there on the road, and the dam site and top edge were completely frozen, creating a dangerous atmosphere. Three radial gates can be seen in the crest section. / Arch / 83m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1003-Odagiri Dam

After visiting the Susohana Dam, we paid a visit to Zenkoji Temple, and on the way back, we took Route 19 along the Saigawa River to visit the dams along the Saigawa River! I planned to visit the dams along the Saigawa River on my way back to Zenkoji Temple. The plan worked, and we headed south upstream from here. / Gravity Concrete / 21.3m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

0993-Mizunai Dam/Minochi Dam

It is characterized by gates that line the entire width of the river. The dam has a long history and was completed before the end of the Pacific War. It is still in service more than half a century later! / Gravity Concrete / 25.3m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1008-Taira Dam

A dam dedicated to power generation along Route 19. It was not on the map, but can be easily found because it is along Route 19. There are 5 roller gates. / Gravity concrete / 19.5m
