Maybe this is where your dam-loving hobby begins!

Kawaji Dam is a beautiful arched 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 of the Kawaji Dam and its mechanism, a VR experience of walking above the dam, and a simulated experience where you can take commemorative photographs and photos. 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!

Enjoy the lake surface surrounded by nature and the dynamic discharge of water!

Curry and rice with local vegetables and mushrooms recreate the arched dam!

In addition to the above, Yunishigawa Dam Curry is also available at Michi-no-Eki Yunishigawa, and is arranged in the shape of each dam! Why not visit both dams and compare the two curry and rice dishes? Michi no Eki Yunishigawa is attached to Yunishigawa Onsen Eki of the Noiwa Railway, where you can also enjoy a footbath. Please visit.
