Naramata Dam, Rock-fill dam in Minakami, Japan.
The Naramata Dam reaches a height of 158 meters and extends across 520 meters, creating Lake Naramata with a capacity of 90 million cubic meters.
Construction of the Naramata Dam began in 1973 and continued until its completion in 1990, marking a significant advancement in Japanese water management infrastructure.
Local restaurants in Minakami serve Dam Curry, where rice is shaped to represent the Naramata Dam structure, reflecting the integration of infrastructure into local cuisine.
Visitors can reach the dam by taking the Joetsu Shinkansen from Tokyo to Jomo-Kogen station, followed by local transportation to the dam site.
The dam functions as both a flood control facility and a hydroelectric power station, generating 12.2 MW while managing water resources for the region.
