Ohkubo Dam is a concrete gravity dam built across the Kurose River in Hiroshima Prefecture. The dam itself is an impressive structure, but the main draw for visitors is the surrounding parkland, which offers scenic hiking trails, picnic spots, and opportunities to enjoy the natural landscape. The area is especially popular for cherry blossom viewing in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn. Visitors can walk along the dam crest, explore the wooded hillsides, and relax by the water. The site provides a peaceful escape into nature without straying far from urban areas.
Don't miss
- Walk across the dam crest for panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding forested hills.
- Hike the trails that wind through the park, offering seasonal beauty like cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.
- Picnic by the water's edge, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and birdwatching opportunities.
