Honen-Ike Dam, completed in 1930, is Japan's oldest piling-stones dam. It was appointed "Important Cultural Property" in 2006.
I cycled from Awa-Ikeda Station.
The bike featured today is a narrow path bicycle "Lepre" made by Bianchi.
It is a lightweight aluminum frame bicycle.

I passed through the Manda tunnel from R192, down to Kagawa, up along Kunita River, and finally arrived at the site of the dam.
Although it is a small-sized dam with a 30-meter high embankment, I could still watch it up close from under the dam which is open to anyone. The pond of the dam was filled with water.
65.6Km
