Funagira Dam Lakeside

"This dam is located 30 kilometers downstream from the mouth of the Tenryu River, known as the ""raging Tenryu."" Built on the border between mountains and the Tenryu River's downstream basin, facilities and points of interest such as a sports park, baseball field, and avenue of cherry trees are maintained in the area around the dam. The dam lake experiences virtually no waves or current, and thus its surface is extremely calm. Canoes and pleasure boats ply the lake, and boat races are also sometimes held on it. In addition, the area is replete with a rest house and men's and women's toilets. Yoshino cherries have been planted next to the baseball field and each year in spring the area bustles with large numbers of visitors come to see their blossoms."
