Ooi Dam

Japan, Hirukawa Ooi Dam, Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture 509-8301

Japan's first power generation dam was built in 1924 (Taisho 13) by power tycoon Momosuke Fukuzawa. As you walk along the walking path around the dam lake, you can see historical sites related to the construction of the Ooi Dam, such as a monument honoring Momosuke's achievements and a relief handwritten by his adoptive father, Yukichi Fukuzawa. The panoramic view of Ooi Dam up close is magnificent, and you can experience the difficulty of dam construction. One of the highlights is that you can enjoy the architectural style of the Taisho era.
