Wagakawa Hydropower Plant sits hidden on the green side of the mountain, with a beautiful view of the mountain river landscape in Iwate, Japan. This Hydropower Plant was closed due to a construction of a new dam (Yuda Dam) in the 1960s! Nowadays this spectacular building is abandoned and slowly goes to nature.
和賀川水力発電所は、山の側面に残された発電所の廃墟で日本の岩手県に存在します。1960年代に新しいダム(湯田ダム)の建設により、この和賀川発電所は役目を終えました。今ではこの壮大な建物はが廃墟になり自然に還ろうとしています。
In addition to the main power plant, The most impressive part of this building is the huge surge tank and pressure conduit ! It seems like the world of Sci-Fi !
発電所本体ももちろんですが、この建物の中で最も印象的な場所は巨大なサージタンクと圧力水路です！ それはまるでSFの世界のような場所です。
Rumor says this place access was very difficult ! There is no easy way but to climb over the mountains, to go through dark underground waterways, or to cross the river…We decided to cross the river. This time, the water level of the river was pretty low. It is very lucky! We were easily able to get close to the power plant. The huge buildings and the size of its site are quite overwhelming. The underground had lots of deep holes required for generating electricity in the hydro power plant. I’m very fond of huge concrete buildings ! There are not so many huge abandoned industrial buildings in Japan, so this place is so valuable for me.
発電所本体の大きさはかなり圧倒的です。 地下には水力発電に必要な深い穴がたくさんありました。日本には巨大な産業建築の廃墟があまりないので、和賀川発電所は非常に貴重な場所です。

大変すばらしいロケですね！あんな高いところによく座りますね。軍艦島のとき思い出すなぁｗ
I like high place…but This location has Dark Hole. I was little scary 🙂
Oh no! You have a black heart! ww
Yap, Black Heart was sold in H&M. It’s for explore 😉
Stunning. Top down main hall view is brilliant. Can’t believe you (or your friend) climbed those handles. Wow. I think I wanted to check out this place years back, but had no confidence about the location. Thanks for sharing!!
Handle was strong!
I like high places but This hole was scared XD
ここのサージタンクで、ただお一人コンクリートの足場を登っていますね。大変な冒険です。他の方で「落ちたら間違いなく死ぬので、うすい床？に乗るのも断念」とか言ってますね。
コメントありがとうございます。写真を見返すと私もびっくりします。なぜ行ったのか…。足場は思ったよりもしっかりしていました。
