Fall at Nukui Dam in the north of Hiroshima Prefecture

 The red sign shows the highest possible of water.

One-hour drive from downtown Hiroshima will take you to Nukui Dam and its surrounding gorges. Autumnal colors and crisp air can be enjoyed there in October to November. A visit to the dam is an interesting experience for you to witness modern engineering in the fresh natural settings. Try an elevator downward followed by a corridor inside the dam which leads to a little square right next to the bottom of the dam. The dam is a great place to take pictures at some interesting angles. Let me post some of the photos taken in October, 2013.

 
A 190-cm tall whitish mannequin standing at the deck looks so small.

 
The passageway you walk through after descending by an elevator from the ground level of the dam.
