The Amagase Dam (天ヶ瀬ダム) is an arch dam on the Uji River just upstream from Uji City in Kyoto Prefecture Japan. The main purpose of the dam is flood control but it supports a hydroelectric power station and creates the lower reservoir for the Kisenyama Pumped Storage Plant. The dam itself serves a 92 MW power station while the pumped-storage power station upstream has a 466 MW capacity. Construction on the dam began in 1955 and it was complete in 1964.
