Dainichigawa Dam, Gravity dam in Hakusan, Japan.

The Dainichigawa Dam reaches 59.9 meters in height and stretches across 238 meters at an elevation of 317 meters above sea level.

Construction of the Dainichigawa Dam started in 1952 by Kajima Corporation to address water shortages and flooding issues affecting municipalities along the Tedori River.

The dam represents a milestone in Japanese engineering capabilities during the post-war reconstruction period, marking significant progress in infrastructure development.

The reservoir capacity of 27.2 million cubic meters supports irrigation, flood control, and hydropower generation through a 9,000-kilowatt power station.

The dam features an extensive penstock system that channels water through the structure, demonstrating advanced hydraulic engineering techniques of the 1950s.
