Okiura Dam, Submerged dam in Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
The Okiura Dam features a specialized underwater construction design that allows it to maintain water levels while remaining completely submerged beneath the surface.
Engineers completed the construction of Okiura Dam in 1933 as part of Japan's early twentieth-century infrastructure development program for water management.
The dam's presence has transformed local agricultural practices in Aomori Prefecture, influencing the development of farming techniques and water distribution methods.
Visitors can reach the dam site through designated access points, with informational signs providing technical details about the structure's underwater mechanisms.
The structure continues to function below water level, controlling water flow and managing sediment through its specialized engineering system.
