The dam was constructed exclusively for hydroelectric power generation and generates a maximum of 22,000 kilowatts at the Shimohara Power Station downstream of the dam. The dam is located with the borders of the Hida-Kisogawa Quasi-National Park.
The Iwaya Dam is a dam in the city of Gero, Gifu Prefecture, Japan on the Maze River, part of the Kiso River system. The dam is a rockfill dam with a height of 127 meters and was constructed as a multipurpose dam for flood control, supply of municipal and industrial water, irrigation water and hydroelectric power generation. The reservoir created by the dam supplies the Chubu Electric Power Company's Mazegawa No.1 Power plant with a capacity of 288 MW hydroelectric power station.
The Hatanagi-I is a dam on the Ōi River in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture on the island of Honshū, Japan. With a height of 125 metres (410 ft), it is the tallest hollow-core concrete gravity dam in the world. It has a hydroelectric power generating station owned by the Chubu Electric Power Company. It supports a 137 megawatts (184,000 hp) pumped-storage hydroelectric power station.
