About Sugisawa dam
The Umeda River, which originates from Miho Citizen's Forest, has been an important water resource in the area where rice cultivation has been flourishing since the Edo period.
To drain water into the paddy fields, it was necessary to block the river, and some "weirs" were created. "Sugisawa Weir" is one of them, and you can imagine that it was wooden in the Edo period, but valuable concrete was completed in the early Showa era, contributing to rice cultivation in the Sugisawa area.
Since 1965, houses began to gradually build near Tando, and the role of weirs was lost due to the disappearance of paddy fields. It is poured into the weir, leaving the old-fashioned figure.
Sugisawa Weir was registered as a historic building of Yokohama City in 1999 as a civil engineering industrial relic, which is a valuable historical and cultural asset in the landscape.
