Fukuoka Dam, Water control weir in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
The Fukuoka Dam spans across the river with concrete structures and gates that regulate water flow for agricultural irrigation and flood prevention purposes.
The establishment of this water management system in the twentieth century marked a significant advancement in Japanese agricultural infrastructure development.
Local residents gather annually at the adjacent Sakura Park during spring to celebrate the cherry blossom festival with traditional performances and food stalls.
The site features dedicated parking areas, walking paths along the water, and informational boards explaining the technical aspects of water control systems.
The 1.8-kilometer embankment transforms into a natural tunnel of cherry blossoms during spring, earning its designation as one of the three major weirs in Kanto.
