Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore the roadside market and the surroundings of Nagara Dam. The dam spans Ichihara City and Nagara Town; this guide suggests a visit on the Nagara side.

This guide covers visits on the Nagara side. Nagara Dam also extends into Ichihara, so the whole photograph is not claimed to lie within the town.

The official tourism guide lists both Ichihara and Nagara as the dam’s location. This 2010 photograph documents the dam facility without implying that every part lies in Nagara. Check official maps for visitor points on the Nagara side and current access areas.
