Hikihara Dam - Shiso

From the national highway, run on the opposite bank road of the dam lake and join the national highway again (^^ ♪ It's fun to ride a motorcycle! Mine-chan 38

The fall foliage from the dam is brilliant, and it's worth seeing when you go sightseeing.

When you reach the promenade, you will feel a lot of ruins. During the autumn leaves season, there was a sightseeing release, so I enjoyed it to the best.

The view from above is overwhelmed. There is a toilet in front of the entrance of the management building where the stairs are up. Was locked.

Cherry blossoms in spring, green leaves in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and white in winter when snow falls, where you can feel the four seasons. As it is a dam, of course, one side can see the lake, and one side can see the slope of the mountain, and autumn leaves are all around. There is an observatory in the back, but it seems a little rough and it is a bit rough. We visited this dam many times on weekends, but people come often but stay short. In midwinter and deeper snow, your feet get worse, and above all, people seem to go further away because it is colder.

2020/08/13 This time, we are following the flow of hydroelectric water from the downstream. Today is the first day, first Kamino power plant, then look for the intake weir Go to Azumi Power Station and see Azumi Power Station Nishitani Intake Stop at Ueno Power Station, Ueno Power Station Intake Weir I saw the Nojiri power plant without dropping it And look for the intake weir of Nojiri power plant Second visit to the nuclear power plant This Hikihara dam is taking water from the nuclear power plant, so I also visited here. My wife is addicted to the dam card, and it's almost a year to go around the dams ... My wife, who was interested in a power plant without a card, ignored the dumb card recently, probably because of the corona vortex! There is a limit to the time I can get, and I sometimes want to go early in the morning to take pictures. I don't want to adjust the time to get a dumb card. I don't need a dam card anymore. I've searched a lot and said that I'm going around many power plants and intake weirs anyway. This Hikihara dam sends water to the nuclear power plant, but it also sends water to the dam lake from another tributary. I am enthusiastic to look for it today That's right ... There is a power plant. It operates unmanned. So, it is built in a rather terrible place. Moreover, the horror of approaching by running through roads that people do not normally pass through is not ordinary. Please don't challenge me by looking at my kakikomi Intake weir The intake is even worse I'll bring some photos to my visit this summer Sorry for all the similar pictures 2020/01/03 visit Howell bunker valves that are not in use now were on display The discharge from this valve is also exciting. There is the same valve at Nukui Dam in Hiroshima Prefecture. I'm excited to see the real thing Although it is a dam with a dam card When visiting outside of hours such as Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays Let's prepare a reply envelope and visit

It is a dam built by damming the Hikihara River in the Ibo River system in Haga-cho, Shiso City. It is a gravity-type concrete dam with a bank height of 66 meters, and the dam lake is Lake Onzui. Completion is 1957. Take Route 29 toward Tottori and you will see it in front of Tokura Pass. It's a quiet lake where you can enjoy the changes of the surrounding mountains in the four seasons ☺️

I stopped by for touring. There were many places along the road where it was easy to park the bike, and it was easy to take pictures. The mountains are green now, but I would like to go there again during the fall foliage season.
