Saigawa Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Sai River, offering a pleasant park-like setting for visitors. The dam's broad crest provides a vantage point to watch water cascade down the spillway, while nearby walking trails follow the riverbank. In spring, cherry blossoms line the area, and in autumn, foliage colors the hillsides. It's a quiet spot for picnics, photography, or simply enjoying the sound of rushing water away from the city.
Don't miss
- Walk across the dam crest for close-up views of the spillway and reservoir
- Stroll along the riverbank trails, especially during cherry blossom season
- Photograph the contrast between the massive concrete structure and natural surroundings
