Funagira Dam, Gravity dam in Shizuoka, Japan
Funagira Dam extends 24 meters high across the Tenryu River, featuring concrete construction and large roller gates for water management purposes.
The construction of Funagira Dam commenced in 1972 and reached completion in 1977, marking a period of infrastructure development in post-war Japan.
The dam includes a dedicated fish ladder system with specialized lighting, allowing hundreds of thousands of ayu fish to migrate upstream each year.
The reservoir supports multiple functions including power generation, irrigation, industrial water supply, and drinking water distribution for local communities.
The structure incorporates one of the largest roller gates worldwide, making the dam appear to consist primarily of gate mechanisms.
