Miboro Dam, Rock-fill dam in Shirakawa, Japan.
The Miboro Dam extends 405 meters across the Shō River, reaching a height of 131 meters with three different spillway systems.
The construction period from 1957 to 1961 required the relocation of 1,200 residents and submerged more than 200 traditional houses.
Two ancient cherry trees from a submerged shrine found a new location in Shirakawa-go, preserving the memory of displaced communities.
The dam supports a 256-megawatt hydroelectric power station with two Francis turbines, providing electricity to the surrounding regions.
The dam creates a reservoir with a capacity of 370 million cubic meters, making it the uppermost of nine dams on the Shō River.
