Tokuyama Dam, Embankment dam in Ibigawa, Japan

The Tokuyama Dam rises 161 meters high and creates the largest reservoir in Japan, with a capacity of 660 million cubic meters of water.

The Electric Power Development Company initiated studies for the dam in December 1957, leading to its construction from 2000 and completion in 2008.

The construction of the dam required the relocation of an entire village, transforming the local community and landscape of the Ibi River region.

The facility operates a 153-megawatt hydroelectric power station, with its first 23-megawatt unit becoming operational in May 2014.

Engineers implemented rapid fill placement techniques during construction, setting new standards for large-scale dam building in Japan.
