This may be where your dam-loving hobby begins.

Kawaji Dam is a beautiful arch concrete dam with an embankment height of 140 meters, making it the fourth tallest dam in Japan following Kuroshi Dam, Onui Dam, and Nagawa Watershed Dam. The charm of Kawaji Dam lies not only in its height, but also in the curves drawn by the arches, which attract visitors and dam lovers. The sightseeing releases that take place several times a year are like waterfalls, and the roaring sound of the water as it flows down is overwhelming to anyone.
The Kawaji Dam Museum, which was renovated in July 2020, offers a variety of unique experiences, including exhibits on the history and mechanism of the Kawaji Dam, a VR experience where you can walk above the dam and take commemorative photos, and a photo booth where you can take pictures. The museum also offers a variety of unique experiences, such as a VR experience in which visitors can walk above the dam and take commemorative photos. Dam enthusiasts will of course enjoy them, and even those who do not may find the charm of dams here!
