After arriving at the bottom of the dam, my friend and I explored around the area a short distance from the dam itself. This place is really scenic!
View looking back at the dam from a bridge:
Walking straight ahead, we could see a lovely white arch bridge:
While on the bridge, looking to the right, was a waterfall. The sound of the water falling was so relaxing. ^_^
On the way back, I snapped a photo of a passing train, which shuttles passengers from the dam site to a park. Riding this train is not free. The cost was about ¥250~¥350. (sorry I can't remember the exact amount)
Miyagase Dam is highly recommended as something different to do in Kanagawa. It's free and an ideal spot for families (of which, we saw many!) Are you impressed with Kanagawa, Japan yet? ^_^
Miyagase Dam is located in central Kanagawa, about 1.5 hours from Yokohama. Admission: free. Activities available: restaurant, museum, view points, park and playground for kids -- all free. Access: Take the Odakkyu line to Hon Atsugi station. Change to the Kanachu Bus No.5 to Miyagase. The dam is a short walk from the bus stop.
