Nibutani Dam

Original Text

　The dam set up in Nifudani in Hiratori Town is Nifudani Dam. We saw a dam lake from the Nifudani Ainu Cultural Museum toward the banks of the Saru River. When building this dam, I remembered the history of the Ainu people who lived around here strongly opposed the construction of the dam, and it was confused.

　We visited the Ainu Cultural Museum in the Nifuya district of Hiratori Town, and also visited the Sarugawa History Museum on the edge of the Sarugawa River. There was an observation facility on the roof of this history museum. When you go up there, you will see the Saru River or the dam lake of Nifudani Dam right in front of you. The dam was completed in １９９７ years, but I remembered that the conflict with the Ainu people living in the planned submerged area at the time of construction developed into a lawsuit for the construction of the dam and broke up.

A dam built on the Sarugawa River, a little upstream of the city center of Biratori. A national highway runs beside the left bank, but approaches from the road in front of Yoshitsune Shrine on the right bank side. The embankment body seems to be relatively low.
