Honen Pond Dam
豊稔池ダム
Overview
Reservoir dam known for its coin-shaped form, named after the 'money-holding' temple Zentsuji, with lakeside walks.
Small reservoir in the hills outside Kanonji in western Shikoku, set within walking trails that follow the water's edge through mixed woodland. The dam creates a calm surface that reflects the surrounding hills, and fishing is permitted here, attracting locals on quiet weekday mornings. The trails are accessible and flat enough for families, and the area sees little tourist traffic, which makes it a good option for a peaceful outdoor walk between Kanonji's more visited sites. Parking is available near the dam wall. The surrounding hills have modest views over the Seto Inland Sea from the higher trail sections.
