Masutani Dam and its dam lake ”Lake Masutani"
The dam has an open and bright atmosphere, which you can enjoy the presence of the magnificent 100.4-meter-high rock-fill dam from a park with a parking lot under the dam.
When I view from the park, I can see that rocks are piled up to make flat the surface for the down stream side of the dam body. It contrasts with the upstream rough surface.
The spillway is on the right bank of the dam. The overflew water flows down from the end of the crest through the curved channel.
