Kaneyama Dam, Gravity dam in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

The Kaneyama Dam spans across the Kiso River with a height of 36.3 meters and a length of 205.7 meters in concrete construction.

The dam project commenced in 1939 during a period of infrastructure development in Japan, reaching completion in 1943 to serve regional water management needs.

Engineers from across Japan study the dam's design principles, which demonstrate the integration of water management infrastructure with regional development strategies.

Visitors can access educational programs about water management and engineering at the dam's information center during standard operating hours.

The reservoir created by Kaneyama Dam covers 102 hectares and manages water resources for 2,452 square kilometers of catchment area.
