[Overview]
There are around 3,000 dams in Japan. They are used for a variety of purposes, from irrigation to flood control, but many of them are used daily to ensure safety and support people's lives.
The purpose of this movie is to propose a new use for them as tourist attractions.
{About Dams in Fukushima]
There are around 60 dams in Fukushima.
Some are unusual, such as the Okutadami Dam, the second biggest dam in Japan, or the unique Shitoki Dam offering views of the ocean, but this movie will focus on two particular dams.
Part 1 will take a look at Takashiba Dam, one of Fukushima's oldest dams, and Part 2 will focus on Surikamigawa Dam, one of Tohoku's biggest rock-fill dams. They are both interesting dams with many unique features.
Valuable images have been filmed thanks to the supervision and cooperation of people working for the control centers of both dams.
