Arakawa Dam

The scenery around the dam is very picturesque and definitely worth a visit.

The name Arakawa comes from Arakawa River. Arakawa River is a rapid river upstream which created Shousenkyou Valley. It merges into Fuefuki River in central Kofu City which joins Fujigawa and flows in...

On Sunday, in the southern Alps City, I will visit the atelier of the pottery exhibition ＆ painting exhibition, which is held by an acquaintance, with a Shizuoka specialty eel pie. On the way back, the weather was fine, so I stopped by Arakawa Dam on the way to Shosenkyo. There were many tourist cars parked in the parking lot, and it seemed that there were many Kanto numbers.

I want to go a little further from Shosenkyo, so if you drive further upstream of the river, turn right in the right direction and go for a while, you will see the walls rather than the large stone bank. The dam is impossible to walk across, but there is a small parking lot and you can take a break for a while. There is a restaurant nearby. It's like a weird lake, and the winter is not very beautiful, but I think it will be a nice scenery if you come during the autumn leaves season. It seems that it is probably impossible to go around the lakeside in winter.
