Shogawa Goguchi Dam, Gravity dam in Shogawa, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.

The Shogawa Goguchi Dam stretches 103 meters across the Sho River, using its 18.5-meter concrete structure to control water flow in the region.

Engineers completed the construction of this water management facility in 1939, marking a period of infrastructure development in pre-war Japan.

The dam stands as a representation of Japanese engineering expertise, connecting local agricultural communities with essential water resources throughout the seasons.

Visitors can reach the dam through designated paths and parking areas, with observation points offering views of the concrete structure and surrounding mountains.

This facility operates as the last of nine dams along the Sho River, managing a catchment area of 1,113 square kilometers.
