    Shizuoka Pref. Hamamatsushi Tenryu-ku Tatsuyamachoutokura 445
    This dam is located along the Tenryu River in Tatsuyama-cho, Tenryu Ward, Hamamastu City. It was erected in 1958 to adjust the water flowing from the Sakuma Dam located upstream. It is adjacent to 3 spots of dam-and-conduit hydroelectric generation, so it serves to provide energy too. The 1,000 cherry trees planted nearby are called the Akiha Dam Senbon-zakura. Famous for its cherry trees, it is home to the Akiha Dam Sakura Matsuri and the Akiha Dam Sakura Marathon in spring.

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
