The Kasagi Dam is a concrete gravity dam located on the Yabe River in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It serves primarily for flood control, irrigation, and municipal water supply for the surrounding areas. Construction was completed in 1978. The dam creates a reservoir known as Lake Kasagi, which is used for recreational purposes such as boating and fishing. The Kasagi Dam plays a significant role in regulating the Yabe River's flow and mitigating the risk of flooding in downstream communities, while also providing a vital water resource for agriculture and urban development in the Fukuoka Prefecture.
