Arimine Dam, Gravity dam in Toyama, Japan.

The Arimine Dam spans 500 meters across the Wada River with two distinct bends in its middle section and reaches a height of 140 meters.

The construction of the dam started in 1956 by the Hokuriku Electric Power Company after previous attempts were halted during World War II.

The dam creation led to the formation of Arimine Lake, which has become part of the regional identity and recreational activities in Toyama Prefecture.

The structure generates hydroelectric power through five different facilities, with a combined capacity of 534,170 kilowatts for the surrounding region.

The dam's reservoir holds 222 million cubic meters of water and serves multiple purposes including irrigation, flood control, and industrial water supply.
