Mitakara Dam - Tamba

Many Genji fireflies fly over the river flowing from the dam, so the scenery is very beautiful.

A place to visit the dam. There is no store. The scenery is nice

Although it is a small gravitational concrete dam, it is a rare dam where you can climb stairs for dam management. The dam lake orbit is compact, about 1.2km. Toilet and parking

It's a quiet and beautiful place. Some wild plants are growing somehow. It's not enough to take it home (^ _ ^;)

There was a dam tour event during the Obon festival. I participated for the first time two years ago, and this was my second participation this year. (Check for dates) You don't need to apply to participate, you can participate for free ? When I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the dam and received the reception, I received a quiz answer sheet (4 questions in total) and 500 ml of cold drink. When I went up the stairs on the far left, there was a person in charge who took a picture with the dam in the background with a drone. (You can get a printout on your way home) There was Q1 there. From there, I went around the outer circumference of the dam, and there was a plaza in the innermost part, where Q2 was. When I walked around the perimeter, there was Q3, and there was Q4 in front of the upper passage that blocked the dam. I took about 20 minutes to go around the dam, got a photo, and when I went down the stairs I climbed at the beginning, there was a door, and there was a person in charge, so I went inside the dam through that door. The inside is a concrete passage, but it's very cool. When I went down the stairs, it was colder. There are puddles here and there along the passage. I proceeded while it was cool, and when I went up the stairs, I came out near the reception. So I answered the quiz and got a prize. Children have several kinds of sweets (Meiji Seika last year, Glico provided this year) and balloons. Adults also had a towel, a ballpoint pen and a candy. It's pretty hot to walk around the dam, but at the end I was able to cool off with a natural cooler and have a good experience studying the dam. It seems that you can always go around the dam, but I think that it is the only time you can put it inside.

When I came to see the state of this dam for the first time in a long time, probably because of the influence of the corona, the park part has not been maintained at all recently and the grass is scattered. It seems that there is still a black bass, and you can enjoy fishing. It's a precious place now because I used to swim in a fairly large size. It was the information confirmed in July 2021.

Next to the small ground under the dam There is also Mitarai on the dam In a small dam with clean water that only flows into the mountain water It is a staircase that allows you to go down to the waterside, and there are several benches. Koi often bounce in spring There were a lot of picked mugwort
