Kurobe Dam (黒部ダム,   Kurobe Damu) is a variable-radius arch dam located on the Kurobe River in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. It was completed in 1963 after seven years of construction. It is featured in the 1964 Godzilla film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and the 1966 Gamera film Gamera vs. Barugon.

History

Showa era

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster

After a meteorite crashed in the Kurobe Valley near Kurobe Dam, a team of scientists led by Professor Murai met with a group of workers there before investigating.

Gamera vs. Barugon

Gamera attacking the power station at Kurobe Dam in Gamera vs. Barugon.

After the Z-Plan rocket collided with a meteorite while en-route to Mars, Gamera was freed and returned to Earth to attack the power facility at the base of Kurobe Dam. Gamera retracted into his shell and deliberately flew into the dam until it breached, sending a torrent of water to flood into the valley below. Gamera then flew off toward an erupting volcano at the Equator.
