Now, Dams in Japan Are a Great Spot for Traveling!

They have a lot to offer, such as dam discharge, dam curry, dam cards, and tour event etc.!

There are also several excellent sightseeing spots.

Japan is a country full of abundant nature. Moreover, as there are mountains and valleys which are not so far from urban areas, and where you can go in light clothes, it is possible to easily experience the Japanese nature while traveling. In this context, we definitely recommend a dam tour.

Dams have been constructed in various places for the purpose of flood control and water utilization such as securing of drinking water and power generation. It is said that there are more than 2,700 dams in Japan. Artificial dam lakes made by damming a river have also become part of beautiful nature as time goes by. About dam discharge and various events, you can make an inquiry to each dam administration office. In the dam tourism, you mustn’t miss dam curry in which rice is regarded as a dam and curry source as a dam lake. Moreover, dam cards distributed at the administration office etc. are also essential. It is a pleasure that can not be gained unless you go there. In addition, there are often various recreation facilities and hot springs around the dam. Therefore, the dome is a place that will make your travel even more enjoyable.
