Akiha Dam
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.
