Maze Dam - Honjo

There is a lot of anglers on the road. It seems to be very old and I can feel a little thankful. There doesn't seem to be a dumb card. The road around this dam is narrow and confusing, probably because of road parking measures, and there is a certain amount of road width before and after this, so if there is absolutely no place to stop, you should be prepared to walk a little. * There is also a parking lot called Maseentei Parking Lot nearby, so please take that as well.

Parking on the street by anglers is dangerous. Prefectural Road 287, which passes by the side, is a one-lane road that is difficult to separate, but it is difficult for fishing passengers to park on the road in the regularly provided separation space (reported to the police). The parking space off the spring is rattle. There is no morals for anglers. I go there regularly, so if I see it in the future, I'll call 110 immediately.

Old dam. Many people came to go fishing, and quite a few cars were parked on the road. The dam was a simple structure in which water flowed as much as the dam lake overflowed the bank. Naturally, it is not very powerful except during the heavy rainy season. There is a parking lot under the dam where you can see the flowing water. I feel a long history, such as the fact that there are cultural properties nearby.

Come to the dam card ?️ Yeah, I came here for the first time in 10 years, Mase Pass is a fatal accident area from the Nagatoro side, so motorcycles are prohibited and I have not visited since then I'm attacking from the Kodama side today, the management office is (. ゜ Д ゜.) I searched for a management office, but I couldn't find it ⁉️ There are such buildings at the bank bank, but there are no people and they are closed. Even if you go upstream and see it, it's only a private house and no more two-wheeled traffic It was about a fisherman, and I went downstream and saw it, but I couldn't find it, so I turned back and found a tourist and agricultural center when I checked the sign. Get it Everyone should be careful when they go, and they won't go straight to the dam or get a card ~ ? by Yoku Hata (＞ Д ＜ ；) /

Visited the site to get a dam card. It is a quiet environment because it is a weekday in winter. It has been in operation since before the war and is said to be the oldest in eastern Japan.

20220331 Visited for the first time to get a card by putting it on the commemorative card of Futase Dam. Crossing the mountains from Nagatoro. So I visited from the top. The same goes for no parking lot. Parking on the street. There are quite a few anglers. I feel the taste of the fence at the top. General cars are not allowed on the top. There is also a parking lot (open space) under the dam, so I wonder if I usually see it first from here? The power of a lump of concrete. It's pretty good. The Tourism and Agriculture Center was closed. I inadvertently forgot that it was Thursday. I have some errands even after I got home, so I got a card at the land improvement district of Misato Town Hall and went home from the Yorii smart interchange. By the way, the land improvement district was a prefab in the back of the parking lot charging facility. Navi is a detour. The short cut (if you are a passenger car) is to cross the railroad crossing in front of the restaurant Senbon Sakura and go along the railroad tracks. You can also get it on the 2nd floor of the Kodama General Branch on the same site as the Hokiichi Hanawa Memorial Hall. Oh, there was a plate of cultural properties on the bridge below, so when I asked in the improved area, it was said that the intake was also designated. It was said that the cultural property plate of the dam is outside the pillar on the right side of the entrance to the top. (Pillar in the photo) I don't know. I didn't have a dumb card, so I put it off, but since it will be distributed from 20211206, I'm thinking of going around next year. Since the distribution place is far away, it seems that you need the photos you went to. For details, see the announcement from the Honjo City Tourism Association. The oldest agricultural gravity dam in the east. There seems to be a lot of peeling.

When I visited the nearby Hyakutai Kannon-do, I found out that the dam card of Maze Dam was distributed here when I received the reception at the Honjo Tourism and Agricultural Center, so I went cycling to here. However, the impression is very murky. On Google Maps, two restaurants are displayed downstream of Maze Dam, but they were not open. It may be out of business.

The Maze Dam (Mase Dam) and the management bridge downstream are nationally registered tangible cultural properties. Not only the beauty of the four seasons woven by the lake surface and the surrounding mountains, but also It is also known as a famous spot for fishing for crucian carp and smelt. Also, on both banks of the Oyama River, which is the inflow destination of the Mase River, Kodama Senbonzakura, where more than 1,100 cherry blossoms are in full bloom over about 5km, is a tourist attraction.
