Katakura Dam, Gravity dam in Kimitsu, Japan.
The Katakura Dam extends 154 meters in length and rises 42.7 meters high, managing water resources for the Chiba Prefecture region.
Engineers completed the construction of Katakura Dam in 1974, establishing water control infrastructure for agricultural irrigation in the Kimitsu area.
The neighboring Kameiwa Cave contains a turtle-shaped stone formation, discovered in the early 2000s, which influenced its current name.
Visitors can access the dam through Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba park, which offers multiple walking paths and connections to Lake Sasagawa.
The Katakura Dam system includes Nomizo Falls, where seasonal fireflies appear in early summer near the water cascades.
