Kuriyama Standpipe, Civil engineering heritage water tower in Matsudo, Japan

The Kuriyama Standpipe reaches a height of 31.9 meters and features reinforced concrete construction with a modern dome-shaped roof design.

Built in 1937, this water tower continues to distribute water to more than 200,000 residents across both Matsudo City and Ichikawa City.

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers designated the Kuriyama Standpipe as a Civil Engineering Heritage site in 2006, recognizing its engineering value.

Located near the Yagiri Station on the Hokuso Line, the water tower maintains its original function within the Kuriyama Water Purification Plant.

The tower stands as one of the few remaining pre-war water infrastructure buildings that combines modern engineering with traditional Japanese architectural elements.
