DAM TOWN SHINTOKU
Today, most of the power generation in the Tokachi region is hydroelectric power generation using the Tokachi River system.
The first full-scale power plant to be constructed in Tokachi was the Iwamatsu Power Plant in Shintoku.
The Iwamatsu Power Station was the first power station in Hokkaido to be built by Nippon Hatsuden, which was established in 1939 during the war to control the supply and demand of electric power in Japan.
It contributed greatly to the development of industry and culture in the East Hokkaido region.
The construction work also brought vitality to the town of Iwamatsu, as employee dormitories and restaurants sprang up in the rural area, and Sintoku took a major step forward as a town with a power supply.
In the postwar period, demand for electric power increased dramatically, and development of power sources was initiated in the upper reaches of the Tokachi River as well.
This had a significant impact on the development of the Tomuraushi area.
Today, Tomuraushi has grown into a power supply town with seven hydroelectric power plants.
