Araizeki
Arai dam


The Shonai River, ceiling river in this area, runs behind the dam..
Water will be poured over the Araizeki dam
and flow into the banked-in park


Tokai region, particularly Aichi Pref. had record heavy rainfall from September 11 to 12, 2000. Approx. 37% of Nagoya City got inside or outside water inundation disaster. Maybe this photo
was taken from the tall building which you see in the photo above. Please focus the blue
building in the two photos, then you will find the positional relationship..
