What is Hiyoshi Dam?

Hiyoshi Dam is a multipurpose dam built on the Katsura River in the Yodogawa water system as part of the comprehensive development of the Yodogawa River. The basins where the Yodo and Katsura rivers flow, especially Kameoka City downstream of the Hiyoshi Dam, have often been damaged by floods. Hiyoshi Dam works to reduce flood damage in the downstream area.

Water from the Katsura River is used for various purposes in areas along the Katsura River. Hiyoshi Dam not only maintains a stable amount of water throughout the year, but also helps protect the habitat of fish and other river animals and plants. The Hiyoshi Dam will increase the amount of water that can be used for tap water not only in Kyoto Prefecture but also in the Hanshin area by 3.7 m3 per second (for about 1 million people), which will be useful for the lives of a wide area.

“Sonoyu” is a cool-down space inspired by the “blue” of the five elements of Yin-Yang. By tightening the hot flushed body, it stimulates the skin cells and revitalizes the skin, which can be expected to have a beauty effect.
