Serving as a hub for education, community interaction, and disaster prevention, this museum offers a comprehensive look at the role of Fukuchi Dam - Okinawa’s largest dam - in supplying water, preventing floods, and supporting daily life on the island.
Visitors can explore exhibitions that detail the dam's construction, its significance in postwar reconstruction, and the unique challenges of water resource management in Okinawa's subtropical climate.
