Surikamigawa Dam

Two-Minute Lecture on the World of Dams + Fukushima Dams [Part 1]

What makes dams so interesting? Fukushima Dam Presenter, Mamoru Dosekiryu will get into the details. Click here for other articles explaining dams --

[Overview]
There are around 3,000 dams in Japan. They are used for a variety of purposes, from irrigation to flood control, but many of them are used daily to ensure safety and support people's lives.
The purpose of this movie is to propose a new use for them as tourist attractions.

{About Dams in Fukushima]
There are around 60 dams in Fukushima.
Some are unusual, such as the Okutadami Dam, the second biggest dam in Japan, or the unique Shitoki Dam offering views of the ocean, but this movie will focus on two particular dams.
Part 1 will take a look at Takashiba Dam, one of Fukushima's oldest dams, and Part 2 will focus on Surikamigawa Dam, one of Tohoku's biggest rock-fill dams. They are both interesting dams with many unique features.
Valuable images have been filmed thanks to the supervision and cooperation of people working for the control centers of both dams.

ORDC摺上川ダムソロツーリング（福島市）2015

2015年9月5日
国道１３号栗子峠から飯坂温泉方面に抜けて、摺上川ダムを目指しましたｗ
国道３９９号ダム沿いの反対の裏ルートが気になっていたので行ってみましたが・・・砂利道になりモトクロスでないと厳しかったのでＵターン。

帰りは国道３９９号鳩峰峠を抜けて帰宅。

レザージャケットでも山は暑く感じませんね、秋を感じた今日この頃ｗ

走行距離　約１２０キロ
