15 March, 2018
Irukaike Reservoir is now world-famous because in 2015 it was officially registered as one of the World Heritage Irrigation Structures. Inuyama City, where the reservoir is located and Iruka Canal Land Improvement District office has jointly made the dam card and the Iruka Canal Land Improvement District office in Shinodaira area has started providing the visitors to the office with the dam cards on a one by one visitor basis. Dam cards are usually made and provided to the visitors only by the management organizations of the dams such as Japan Water Agency (=JWA), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (=MLIT), or local management municipalities only under the unified format designated by MLIT.
As Irukaike Reservoir is quite a large irrigational pond constructed in Edo Period and meets the required criteria of the dam, i.e. a reservoir with the embankment of 15m or higher, as it has 25.7m embankment, the MLIT approved its dam card making.
In addition, at the Japanese Restaurant "
Hekisui-Tei" in near-by
