Top 100 Reservoir Pondsため池百選
About this collection
The Top 100 Reservoir Ponds is a selection made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to provide people with a deeper understanding of the history and role of reservoir ponds throughout Japan. It is said that there are about 200,000 reservoir ponds nationwide, which have played an important role in supporting Japanese agriculture since ancient times. The selection criteria include close ties to agriculture, historical, cultural, and traditional value, excellent scenery, contribution to biodiversity, and deep connections with local communities.
The Top 100 Reservoir Ponds candidates were solicited starting in April 2009, and the selections were announced in March 2010. All selected reservoir ponds are artificially created and do not include dams. The selection is not limited to a single reservoir pond; in some cases, multiple reservoir ponds (groups) in a region have been selected. Additionally, only reservoir ponds currently used for agriculture have been chosen.
For tourism, reservoir ponds located in relatively open areas such as parks are recommended. Nearby, there are also sites selected as Top 100 Famous Waters, so it is enjoyable to visit both. Visitors should be careful not to disturb those engaged in agriculture and must consider safety.
