Introduction
The Daimon Dam sits at the foot of Mt. Fuji between Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi, holding the meltwater and river flow in a man-made lake. The dam rests in a green valley; its still water mirrors Fuji, with lake-and-mountain scenery all around. Away from the busy main lakeshore, it is a quiet stop and supply point on a Fuji-loop drive.
