Ouchi Dam, Rock-fill dam in Shimogo, Japan.
The Ouchi Dam rises 102 meters high and extends 340 meters in length across the landscape of Fukushima Prefecture, forming an upper reservoir for hydroelectric generation.
The construction of Ouchi Dam began in 1974 and reached completion in 1991, marking a substantial advancement in Japan's water management infrastructure.
The dam operates near Ouchi-juku, where residents maintain traditional thatched-roof buildings and practice long-established farming methods passed through generations.
Visitors can access the dam by traveling 20 kilometers from Aizu-Wakamatsu city, with Yunokami Onsen serving as the nearest railway station.
The facility functions as part of the Shimogo Pumped Storage Power Station, managing a water capacity of 18.5 million cubic meters for energy production.
