Okumiomote Dam
奥三面ダム湖The Crown Jewel of Niigata’s Mountain Waters
Rising gracefully amidst the untouched wilderness of Bandai-Asahi National Park, Okumiomote Dam holds the distinction of being Niigata Prefecture’s only arch-type concrete dam—and the largest in storage capacity among all dams managed by the prefecture.
Encircled by pristine landscapes that remain as nature intended, the area offers a visual symphony through the seasons: the delicate greens of spring, the lush vibrancy of summer, the brilliant tapestry of autumn foliage, and the serene stillness of winter.
Downstream, the crystal-clear waters of the Miomote Dam and its lake, together with the scenic Asahi Super Line and primeval forests, have been selected as one of the Niigata One Hundred Scenic Views. During the fresh greenery and autumn leaf seasons, the region comes alive with discerning travelers seeking nature at its most spectacular.
