Sakaigawa Dam, Gravity dam in Nanto and Shirakawa, Japan.

The Sakaigawa Dam extends 297.5 meters in length and reaches a height of 115 meters, forming a substantial water reservoir in Gifu Prefecture.

Construction of the Sakaigawa Dam began in 1973, and after two decades of development, the structure was officially commissioned on June 2, 1993.

The dam contributes to regional development by providing essential water resources for agricultural activities and supporting local farming communities in Gifu Prefecture.

The hydroelectric power station, situated 2.9 kilometers downstream from the dam, generates 27 megawatts of electricity for the surrounding communities.

The dam maintains a hydraulic head of 216.7 meters and creates a reservoir with a surface area of 1.60 square kilometers.
