Kamishiiba Dam is an arch-type concrete dam with a height of 111 m, which was completed in 1955 (Showa 30). The artificial lake created by the dam was named "Hyugashiiba Lake" by Eiji Yoshikawa, a writer known for his novel "Musashi Miyamoto", and has become a popular tourist destination. In 2005, it was selected as one of the Selected 100 Dam Lakes by the Water Resources Environment Center.

As the name suggests, tourist discharge is an event that discharges water from a dam for tourists. There are few dams to be implemented because it cannot generate electricity, but Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc., which aims to turn the dam into a tourism resource and promote the region, implemented the Kamishiiba Dam for the first time in 2019, and about 400 people visited.
