3280-Minamiaki Dam

Interview Date: 08/17/2014 (Sun) After visiting Kurobe Dam and Utsukushi-ga-hara Highland Museum of Art in Toyama on a 2-day/1-night family trip, we came to Minamiasagi Dam. The white limestone riprap looks like a chalk castle, and it is more beautiful than it sounds. The Namisaki Dam is a pumped-storage power...

0763-Gejo River Dam

Date of interview：2013/05/25 (Sat) I came to Shimojogawa Dam via Chuo highway → Nagano highway → Joshinetsu highway → Hokuriku highway because my dam friends were going to hold a wedding ceremony at Uchikura Dam in Niigata Prefecture. We arrived at 5:00 in the early morning. It was far away. I wondered if it was called a control center... The Shimojogawa Dam Control Center...

Niigata Prefecture Dam

1030-Narai Dam

This Nagano Prefecture-owned multi-purpose dam is located near Naraijuku on the Kiso Road in Shinshu. Until now, visitors from Nagoya had to exit at the Nakatsugawa Interchange on the Chuo Expressway and drive north on Route 19 or exit at the Shiojiri Interchange and drive south, but with the opening of the Gonpei Tunnel, it is now possible to exit at the Ina Interchange. / Rockfill dam / 60m

0769-cassadam/kassadamu

We are pleased to participate in the "4th Dam Web Ring Kassa Dam Off-line Meeting" and this event was made possible by the cooperation of Denpatsu Kaihatsu (hereinafter referred to as Denpatsu). So, the Kassa Dam is accessed from the road at the back of the Mitsumata area parking lot of the Kagura Ski Resort. / Rockfill dam / 90m

Niigata Prefecture Dam

0773-Nii Dam

The lower dam, where pumped-storage power is generated between the upper dam, Kassa Dam, and the Nii Dam, is the Nii Dam. If you are coming from Gunma, drive north on the Mikuni Kaido road for a while after entering Niigata Prefecture, and you will see a sign on your right hand side. This is a great area for a drive, so please stop by. / Rockfill dam / 87m

Niigata 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

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1014-Ikusaka Dam

This is the setting of the Ikusaka Dam Murder Case. There is a true story about this dam that could be made into a story in the "Suspense Story" series. / Gravity Concrete / 19.5m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1018-Nagawa Watershed Dam

As expected of the eldest, he is the largest of the three brothers. Directly below is the Ajimu Power Plant. If you participate in the tour, you will not only be able to see the dike from directly below, but you can also tour the inside of the power plant. / Arch / 155m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1022-Mizudono Dam

I knew it had to be this one! I realized the size of the arch dam. The arch dam is very beautiful against the snow. Incidentally, there is a power generation facility just below the embankment. The remains of the dam construction can be seen on the left bank. / Arch / 95.5m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1019-Inekoki Dam

This dam is the youngest of the three Azusa River brothers (or the three Azumi brothers?). The youngest of the three Azusa River brothers (Azumi three brothers?). The youngest is selfish, and its embankment is off-limits. The Inakaku Dam is the lower dam, while the Mizudono and Nagawa Watershed Dams upstream are used for pumped storage and power generation. / Arch / 60m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1032-Omachi Dam / Nagano Pref.

The dam is located just before the "Ogisawa" approach to the Kurobe Dam. This area is a tourist attraction, and there are many things to see and do. Omachi Dam is also a "show" dam, but there are relatively few visitors, perhaps because of the rain. / Gravity concrete dam / 107m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1026-Nanakura Dam

Can you be a man of character? An iron-clad rock-fill dam. Nanakura Dam is located further upstream from Omachi Dam. It is quite a large rockfill dam, and you can get a sense of its size by looking up at it from directly below the embankment. / Rockfill dam / 125m

Nagano Prefecture Dam

1031-Uchimura Dam

This dam is located near Kakeyu Hot Spring. The Uchimura Dam is located near Kakeyu Onsen, which is famous for its therapeutic baths, and where we stayed when we covered the Kurobe Dam. Perhaps it was because the weather was not so good, but I got the impression that it was very dark. It looked like something was about to come out. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 51.3m
