Shiromaru Dam Control Lake
A power generating dam completed in 1962. It delivers water to the Shiromaru Power Plant and the Tamagawa 3rd Power Plant, generating a total of about 17,000 kilowatts of electricity. The smallish concrete gravity dam is about 30 meters high and 61 meters across the top. It also has the largest fish ladder in Tokyo. These structures provide passage for fish, and varieties including yamame salmon, sweetfish, and rainbow trout use Shiromaru Dam's when swimming upstream. There are only 30 fish ladders in the whole country, and it is rare for a dam of this size to have one.
