Showa-ike Dam is an earthfill dam that forms a calm reservoir surrounded by gentle hills and greenery. The site features well-maintained walking paths that loop around the water, perfect for a leisurely stroll or jog. Benches along the route invite visitors to sit and enjoy the serene atmosphere, with reflections of the sky and trees on the water's surface. It's a favorite spot for locals to unwind, fish, or simply breathe in the fresh air away from the city.

Don't miss

  • Stroll the walking path encircling the reservoir for lake and forest views.
  • Relax on benches overlooking the tranquil water.
  • Try fishing for carp or bass in the reservoir.
