点评:Peak autumn foliage at Omachi Dam is gorgeous!
On the weekday morning of my visit, there are only a few visitors at the dam. Atmosphere is tranquil – quiet, cool and crisp air, occasional chirpings of birds, and colourful hills all around. Upstream, there's snow-peaked Hida Mountains in the background and downstream, Omachi township stands in the distance. Time seems to stand still.
At one corner on the dam wall, one stands directly above a massive discharge of water into the Takase River.
There's an open area at the base of the dam for family picnics and where one can watch the discharge of water from below.
Two minutes' drive up from the entrance of the dam, there's a small and unkempt Omachi Dam Observatory Point at the side of the highway. Opposite this vantage point, there's a large car-park (labelled as “Omachi Dam Kotarohiroba Parking Lot” on Google Map) and a very nice open area with beautiful foliage.
For someone who is not driving, there's a “community bus No.4” serving the villages (including Omachi Onsenkyo village) between Omachi and the entrance of Takase Gorge with 4 daily trips. From the last stop (Omachi Energy Museum) on this route, it's just a 20-minutes scenic walk straight towards the towering dam wall and then another steep road climb to the entrance of the dam. The community bus-stop at JR Shinano-Omachi station is located directly in front of the baggage-collection point (when one can send/drop baggage in the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route).

翻译:大町水坝的秋色美不胜收!
我到访的那天是工作日的上午,水坝边只有寥寥几位游客。空气清新凉爽,鸟儿不时鸣叫,四周群山色彩斑斓,令人心旷神怡。上游远处是白雪皑皑的飞驒山脉,下游的大町小镇则静静地伫立在远处。时间仿佛在这里静止了。
站在大坝的一角,可以俯瞰水流奔涌入高濑川的壮观景象。
大坝底部有一片空地,适合家庭野餐,也可以从下方观赏水流奔腾的壮观景象。
从大坝入口驱车两分钟,就能到达公路旁一个略显简陋的大町水坝展望台。在这个观景点的对面,有一个大型停车场(在谷歌地图上标记为“大町水坝小太郎广场停车场”),以及一片绿树成荫、环境优美的开阔地带。
如果您不开车,可以乘坐“4路社区巴士”,该巴士每天有4班,往返于大町和高濑峡谷入口之间,途经包括大町温泉乡在内的各个村庄。从巴士的终点站(大町能源博物馆)出发,只需步行20分钟即可欣赏到壮丽的坝体,之后再沿着陡峭的山路攀登即可到达水坝入口。JR信浓大町站的社区巴士站就位于行李寄存处(立山黑部阿尔卑斯山脉路线的行李寄存点)正前方。
