Kurobe Dam releasing water for sightseers www3.nhk.or.jp

Sightseers are flocking to Japan's highest dam to watch the spectacle of water gushing from it.

An electric power company releases water from Kurobe Dam, in Toyama Prefecture, central Japan, from June to October of every year to the great enjoyment of visitors. The 186-meter-high structure was built in 1963 for power generation and other purposes.

The operator says water was flowing out of the dam on Monday morning at the rate of 15 tons per second.

I have been to the dam and it is spectacular even without water being released. I can only imagine how breathtaking the sight might be now!

This is going to be a place I plan to see myself in the next few years. I could only imagine the rush of adrenaline you get from seeing all that water being released at full capacity.

It's a nice place to go, with or without the water flowing out. If you have a couple of days, this is a good place for a break from the city!
