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

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

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

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

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

0824-Obara Dam/Obara Dam

From the Gokayama IC on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, drive east on Route 156. There is also a PR exhibition hall nearby, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to cover it.... / Gravity Concrete / 52m

0861-Akao Dam

Off-limits dam located next to "Kamidaira" Roadside Station, northward from Sakai River Dam back to Route 156. / Gravity concrete / 29.2m

Dam in Toyama Prefecture

0870-Sakaigawa Dam / Toyama Prefecture

After passing through the tunnel, there was a dam. The dam is quite spectacular, as it is suddenly visible after passing through the tunnel. Since it is a relatively new dam, the surrounding area is well maintained, making it a great place for a drive. / Gravity concrete dam / 115m
