Iejigawa Dam (家地川ダム, Iejigawa damu) is a dam in Takaoka, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. The 8 meter dam was completed in December 1937, with a total length of 112.5 meters. Originally designed to provide a source of hydro-electric power to the Kochi Prefecture, the dam is used today primarily for water di

splacement. Because of the water displacement since its construction, much of the land down-stream, once used as rice-fields, has dried up and is no longer usable. In recent years, the natural areas surrounding the dam has been re-purposed as hiking and relaxation space. Rows of cherry trees line the banks today, turning the area into a small tourist attraction. Although named and generally known as a dam, legally because of its 8-meter height it is considered a water intake weir. Japan legally requires all dams to be 15 meters or higher in order to be named as such.
