May 17, 2016. The trees at the Miboro Dam.

We visited the Miboro Dam, Japan's first and largest dam built with "rock-fill technology" using only stones and clay. Just as interesting was the fact that they successfully moved 2 400 year old trees before flooding the valley. These beautiful trees are over 450 years old today.
