Tsuburo Dam, Gravity dam in Yoshino, Japan

The concrete structure spans 240 meters across the Tsuburo River, rising to a height of 54.3 meters in the mountains of Nara Prefecture.

The construction of Tsuburo Dam began in 1952 and concluded in 1962, establishing a vital water source for agricultural lands in Yamato and Kii Plains.

The dam and its reservoir support local farming traditions through irrigation systems that maintain rice paddies and crop fields across the region.

The reservoir holds 25.65 million cubic meters of water, serving both agricultural irrigation needs and municipal water supply for Nara Prefecture.

The lake created by the dam features a canoe competition venue and offers boat tours that navigate through 150 hectares of mountain-surrounded waters.
