Yomikaki Dam

The concrete structure reaches a height of 32.1 meters and manages water flow through its mass-dependent engineering on the Kiso River.

Hazama Corporation completed the construction of this water management infrastructure in 1960 as part of Japan's post-war development initiatives.

The surrounding walking paths near the dam structure allow residents to observe seasonal changes in water levels while learning about regional hydrology.

Kansai Electric Power Company maintains the dam's operations, providing water retention capabilities for agricultural needs and generating hydroelectric power.

The dam's position at coordinates 35.658889°N and 137.620278°E creates a water regulation point that supports multiple downstream communities.
