Horobetsu Dam, Earth-fill dam in Noboribetsu, Japan.

The Horobetsu Dam rises 22.5 meters above ground level and extends across the landscape of northern Hokkaido, controlling water flow in the region.

The construction and inauguration of Horobetsu Dam in April 1968 marked a significant advancement in water management infrastructure for the Noboribetsu area.

The dam stands near Noboribetsu, a city whose name comes from Ainu language meaning 'dark-colored river', reflecting the indigenous heritage of Hokkaido.

Located at coordinates 42.421667 latitude and 141.080278 longitude, the dam provides essential water supply services to the surrounding communities throughout the year.

The dam structure integrates with the local geology of Noboribetsu, an area characterized by geothermal activity and mineral-rich hot springs.
