During the fall foliage viewing season, I visited the Hoheikyo Dam, which is very popular in the suburbs of Sapporo.
With the cooperation of the Houheikyo Dam Management Branch Office, we were able to take photos up close to the water outlet, which is normally inaccessible. Please take a look at the video we shot.
In addition, an article on photography by a professional photographer, “[Capturing the Rivers of Hokkaido!] Hoheikyo Dam sightseeing discharge” can be viewed at the following website.
