Kazunogawa Dam, Gravity dam in Otsuki, Japan.
The Kazunogawa Dam reaches a height of 105.2 meters and forms a reservoir known as Lake Matsuhime in the mountainous region of Yamanashi Prefecture.
Construction of the Kazunogawa Dam began in 1991 and reached completion in December 1999, marking a significant advancement in Japanese hydroelectric infrastructure.
Local residents integrated the dam and its reservoir into their community activities, establishing it as a central element of the Otsuki region's identity.
The dam functions as the lower reservoir of a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station, utilizing a 714-meter elevation difference for efficient energy generation.
Four turbine generators at the Kazunogawa facility produce up to 1.6 million kilowatts, making it one of the largest pumped-storage power stations in Japan.
