Fukara Irrigation Canal, World Heritage Irrigation Structure in Hakone and Susono, Japan
The Fukara Irrigation Canal extends through mountainous terrain, connecting the municipalities of Hakone and Susono with an efficient water distribution system.
Constructed in 1670 under the direction of Tomono Shigeyuki, the irrigation canal enabled agricultural development across previously uncultivated lands in the region.
This engineering achievement represents the technical knowledge of Japanese water management systems, influencing agricultural practices throughout the centuries.
The canal maintains its original function by distributing water to agricultural lands, supporting the cultivation of crops in both Hakone and Susono regions.
The irrigation structure demonstrates precision engineering by traversing Mount Hakone, allowing water flow through complex geographical formations.
