Why not consider visiting Hakusui Dam as a hidden gem in Oita Prefecture?
Overview and characteristics of Hakusui Dam
Hakusui Dam was built to resolve the water shortage on Fujioji Road, which flows through Takeda City and Ogata District, Bungo Ono City, Oita Prefecture.
One of the features of this dam is that there is a curved channel at the end of the right bank and a step-like channel at the end of the left bank, which adjusts the water flow.
The beauty of the water flow on the dam
The ground around Takeda City is fragile due to the volcanic geology around Mt. Aso, so measures have been taken to prevent the foundations of the dam from collapsing when water falls.
As a result, the water flow of Hakusui Dam and the channels on either side create a beautiful landscape, which is highly praised by researchers. This dam also appears in a commercial for Oita Mugi Shochu Nikaido.
