Akagawa Dam

The other day my students and I went to have a bbq at the Akagawa dam. The dam is apparently the oldest dam in Japan. Well, according to one of my students at least. The dam itself wasn't all that exciting to look at or anything, but the place itself was pretty cool. There's a park right next to the dam and in the park there is a flowing river. We set up our bbq stuff near the river and had our lunch there. Eating next to a flowing river and being surrounded by grass and trees was a really nice feeling. Then to get up to the dam, we had to take a little hike through a forest and ended up passing a small shrine on the way up there. The experience was a really nice one.
