Location: 72-2 Nibanno, Inunaki, Miyawaka-shi, Fukuoka, Japan Date of interview: 06/13/2011 (Monday) There is no apparition at the Inunaki Dam. There is no such thing in this article. If you came here expecting that, please back up your browser now. I was disturbing the locals with my test of courage...

3000-Gamagoori Adjustment Pond

Gamagori Regulating Pond is a regulating reservoir for the western trunk canal of the Toyokawa water supply managed by the Japan Water Agency. The area downstream of the embankment is maintained as a park and was crowded with many families. This Gamagori adjustment pond is located a little far from the center of Gamagori City, which is a production area of mandarin oranges and a driving spot for Aichi Prefecture residents, such as Laguna Gamagori and Takeshima. / Rockfill dam / 43.2m

2931-dono dam/tonodamu

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

3084-Takigawa Dam

We arrived at the Takigawa Dam. Approaching from an empty main street, the embankment can be glimpsed at the end of a curve. The Taki River Dam is a gravity-type concrete dam built in the Takayama area of Iga City on the Taki River, a small branch of the Hijiki River, a branch of the Kizu River, a branch of the Yodo River system. It is a very simple, cost-effective dam of the type often seen in prefectural dams. / Gravity concrete dam / 29.8m

2322-Sameura Dam

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

2130-Ikeda Dam

The Ikeda Dam, along with the Hayamoura Dam and other dams, is the "cornerstone" of Shikoku's flood control and water utilization. It is an all-purpose dam that provides not only irrigation, flood control, water supply, industrial water, and river maintenance, but also power generation. / Gravity concrete dam / 24m

3014-Ohtagawa Dam

The Ota River Dam is a gravity-fed concrete dam operated by Shizuoka Prefecture and was completed in 2008. I expected to see the pure white embankment, but it was a little too dark. I would like to revisit the dam again someday and report on it. / Gravity Concrete Dam / 70m

1228-Kisogawa weir (Magai headworks)

Although the Kiso River weir is more conspicuous for its role as a bridge (it is often referred to as the Umakai Bridge), I have a renewed awareness that it plays a major role in providing a stable supply of water not only to western Aichi Prefecture, where I live, but also to Mie Prefecture. / weir / 4.2m

The Kasato Regulating Pond is a sloped core-zone fill dam constructed by the then Japan Water Development Corporation (now the Japan Water Agency) as the final regulating site for the Mie Irrigation System. Although it is an earth dam, it is also a unique dam with a low, long conduit like a space battleship. / Earth dam / 28.7m

2446-Nagatani Dam / Fukuoka, Japan

The Hase Dam is a waterworks-only dam in Fukuoka City, operated by the Fukuoka Municipal Government. It has a dam lake, which is difficult to read "Mikazuki-no-Umi" (Lake Mikazuki), and even though it is a water supply dam, it is an unusual dam that pumps up water from downstream to store it. / Gravity concrete dam / 53.8m

1176-Okuno Dam / Shizuoka Prefecture

Okuno Dam is a prefectural rockfill dam located in Ito City, Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka. It is a multi-purpose dam built to protect the city of Ito. It has many attractions, but there are also some mysterious parts, such as the flood discharge, which is rumored to be morning glory-shaped (laugh). / Rockfill dam / 63m

Ouenwa Dam

The Ouenwa Dam is a fictional dam that was the setting for Yuichi Shimpo's suspense novel "Whiteout," which was also made into a movie. It is supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Nagami Power Station of the North Japan Electric Power Co. The model in the novel is Okutadami Dam (0500-Okutadami Dam), but Kurobe Dam (0848-Kurobe Dam) was used for the film location.

1364-Ozuchi Dam

The Aodo Dam is a versatile rock-fill dam operated by Shiga Prefecture with a flood discharge resembling a "dam pit" that is unique in the world. The park, called "Aodo-Dam Echo Valley," offers camping, barbecues, fishing, and other activities. This is a dam that is full of things to see and do, and that families can surely enjoy to their heart's content. / Rockfill dam / 43.5m

0571-kawaji dam

It is the fourth tallest arch dam in Japan, and the catwalk can be visited. It is indeed a dam full of attractions. Of course, it is not only a sight to see, but it also works wonderfully and is an important base for protecting the downstream Kinugawa River. Protecting the Kinu River means protecting the urban areas downstream. We must not forget that. / Arch dam / 140m

0588-Mikawasawa Dam

Mikawasawa Dam is a dam deep in the mountains that can only be reached on foot. Although it appears to be off-limits, we were able to enter this dam without any problems. Animals such as bears may appear, so we recommend that you bring a bell or other countermeasures when you visit. The best point of this dam is the embankment seen from the dam lake side. / Gravity concrete dam / 48.5m

Yunishigawa Dam construction site tour (2010/10/02)

I learned from the Dam Web Ring that the Japan Dam Association was going to hold a tour of the Yunishigawa Dam construction project, and after much deliberation, I went all the way there. I was surprised to learn that the development of science has shed a ray of hope on dam construction....

2443-Narufuchi Dam

Narubuchi Dam is a multi-purpose dam operated by Fukuoka Prefecture for the purpose of flood control and water supply. It was completed relatively recently in 2001, and its fairy-tale-like design is a major feature of the dam. The construction of the Narubuchi Dam was planned to prevent the frequent flooding of the Tadara River in the vicinity of Fukuoka City, as well as to meet the growing population in the area, including Fukuoka City, and the resulting tight demand for water. / Gravity concrete dam / 67.4m

3147-Kinmu Dam (former name: Okkubi Dam)

The 100 million head dam is to be constructed 100 m downstream of the existing Kanabu Dam (non-dam/levee height 12.8 m). There was no sight of the embankment at all. Also, what I failed to capture was that I was heading toward Naha City, but I didn't know that Kinmu Dam was on the left side, and I was only staring at the right side of the bus, so I could only capture this sign.... / Trapezoidal CSG / 39m

As the name suggests, the Hanna Waki Dam is located on the side of the Hanna Dam. I was actually aiming for the main body of the Hanna Dam, but when I noticed it, I saw the side dam.... I know that no one will be satisfied if I upload such a picture, but I wanted to upload it as a proof that I saw it.... / rockfill dam / 37m
