Yodogawa Ōzeki, River management facility in Osaka, Japan.

The Yodogawa Ozeki spans 668 meters across the Yodo River, controlling water flow with retractable gates and managing water distribution throughout the region.

The 1983 construction of Yodogawa Ozeki marked a response to water quality concerns in Osaka City during a period of substantial urban development.

The weir represents Japanese engineering excellence in water management, demonstrating the nation's commitment to balancing urban needs with environmental considerations.

Visitors can schedule group tours through the Yodo River Office to learn about the facility's water control systems and regional importance.

The structure releases water at different rates during tidal changes: 100 tonnes per second at high tide and 40 tonnes per second at low tide.
