Ryumon Dam 50th Anniversary Event: Celebrating 50 Years of Ryumon Dam Completion!

About this event

An event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the completion of Ryumon Dam, located in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, will be held. Experience a special day reflecting on the journey of Ryumon Dam, which has supported local safety and rich livelihoods for half a century, and connecting it to the future. At the event, visitors can enjoy a tour inside the dam normally closed to the public, commemorative photo shoots with a dam photo frame, and inspection gallery wall art. At Ryumon Camp Site, SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), packrafting experiences, tent sauna experiences, fire-making experiences, a campsite furniture-making workshop, vegetation exploration, and a spoon-making workshop will be held. In addition, sales of local agricultural produce and kitchen cars (food trucks) will be present. At the Arita Será venue, in collaboration with the Autumn Arita Ceramics Festival, flood simulation VR and hands-on mini-games will be offered. Furthermore, by participating in the stamp rally visiting Ryumon Dam, Ryumon Camp Site, and Arita Será, and presenting the SAGATOCO app screen, a limited-quantity ceramic commemorative dam card—a first in Japan—will be distributed (one per person, ends when stock runs out). Event details are scheduled to be updated as needed.
