Yamashiro Dam, Earth-fill dam in Uruma, Japan

The Yamashiro Dam rises 29.9 meters above ground level and functions as a critical water management structure in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

The construction of Yamashiro Dam concluded in February 1961, marking a significant advancement in regional infrastructure development during Japan's post-war period.

The dam represents Japanese engineering practices through its earth-fill design, incorporating local materials and adapting to the geographical conditions of Okinawa.

Visitors can access designated areas around the dam structure to observe its operations and learn about water resource management in the Uruma region.

The United States Geological Survey has collected water data from the Tengan Dam Spillway monitoring station since October 1967, documenting decades of hydrological patterns.
