It is an underground tailrace of the world's largest class that exists in 50m in depth.

This place is also a tourist attraction, and can be visited for free!
(Though the tours are conducted in Japanese.)
The huge 59 concrete pillars which are 177m in length and 78m in width stand close together there.
This incomparable beautiful structure is often compared to the Parthenon in Greece.
To secure the course for the visitor, the muddy water collected lowers the crane from the ceiling after the rainy season and is discharged to the external world.
I almost faint for the hard work from the hugeness of this structure.
There is air saturated with moisture.
A lot of note exist here for dangerous prevention.
This is a water level of the pump stop.
It is a visit permission area.
Don't go to the other side of this rope.
The visit is only a tour, and the capacity of each is 20 people.
The huge underground tailrace is under there.
The lecture is done before the actual visit.
The power of the pump was misappropriated from the engine of the jet plane.
You wear this "Participation certificate" on your neck in the tour.
This is the control room.
