The Kurashiki Dam, located on the Yonahara River in Uruma City, has taken water conservation to a new level. The dam is surrounded by a large park where visitors can picnic, explore, play in the clean, shallow water, or simply enjoy the view. Since its opening in April 1996, the Kurashiki Dam has ensured the appropriate intake and discharge of water flow between the Yonahara River and the Hija River. During a flood, the dam can control 23,778 gallons (90 cubic meters) of water per second. The dam will contain 80 cubic meters and discharge 10 cubic meters downstream, preventing a flood in the Hija River by slowing the flow of water.

The water is so clear, you can easily see the bottom. It was made up smooth rock...no sand or dirt. We had to wear water shoes, but it's super smooth, and not messy at all.
Tim and the boys going for an adventure walk through the tunnels.
Elijah is splashing around having fun. He liked to throw the toys in the water and let the stream carry it away a little bit. Then he would chase after it.
They hopped across and back on these big rocks, too.
