Makio Dam, Rock-fill dam in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

The Makio Dam extends 264 meters across the Otaki River with a height of 105 meters, creating a substantial water reservoir in Nagano Prefecture.

Engineers completed the construction of Makio Dam in 1961 following a four-year development period that addressed regional water management requirements.

The dam forms Lake Mitake, which brings together the waters of the Otaki and Kiso Rivers, reflecting Japanese engineering capabilities.

Visitors can monitor the dam operations through webcams on the official water management website while learning about its multiple water control functions.

The structure contains 2,615,000 cubic meters of materials and maintains a reservoir capacity of 75,000,000 cubic meters across 247 hectares.
