Overview

Sagami Dam, officially completed in 1947, stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and a response to the growing needs of the Kanagawa Prefecture. Situated on the Sagami River in Sagamihara, the dam was built to provide flood control, industrial and drinking water to nearby cities like Yokohama and Kawasaki, and to generate hydroelectric power.The dam's construction resulted in the creation of Lake Sagami, the first large-scale artificial lake in the prefecture, which has since become a popular recreational area. Visitors can enjoy boat rides, fishing, and camping around the lake. The surrounding area offers seasonal beauty, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant foliage in autumn.The dam itself is a hollow-core concrete gravity dam, a design chosen for its efficiency and stability. The associated Sagami Hydroelectric Power Plant has a capacity of 31,000 kW. While visiting, take a stroll and appreciate the structure's architecture and the surrounding natural beauty. Pamphlets detailing the dam's history and function are often available.
