Futai Dam, Rock-fill dam in Yuzawa, Japan.

The Futai Dam rises 87 meters high and utilizes rock and gravel materials to create a substantial barrier across the water flow in Niigata Prefecture.

The construction of Futai Dam in 1978 marked a significant development in water management infrastructure for the Yuzawa region of Japan.

The dam integrates into an area known for winter sports, hot springs, and traditional Japanese onsen baths that draw visitors throughout the year.

This infrastructure manages seasonal water flow during heavy snowfall periods, with January accumulating over 377 centimeters of snow in the surrounding mountains.

The dam sits within the Snow Country tourism zone, where the surrounding Echigo Mountain Range creates distinctive weather patterns and environmental conditions.
