Ōi River
The is a river in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Geography The Ōi River flows from the Akaishi Mountains, the branch of the Japanese Southern Alps which form the border between Shizuoka, Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures. These mountains, with peaks ranging from , are characterized by heavy rainfall (up to per year) and deep V-shaped valleys. The river follows a generally southern course, with seven wide bends in its central region, before exiting into Suruga Bay in the Philippine Sea. History The Ōi River is mentioned in Nara period records as forming the border between Tōtōmi and Suruga Provinces. However, due to shifting of the course of the river over the centuries, by the late Muromachi period, this was not always the case. During the Edo period, the Tōkaidō developed as the major highway linking Edo with Kyoto, and ''daimyō'' from the western domains were forced to travel on a regular basis to Edo to attend to the ''shōgun'' in a system known as ''sankin-kōtai ...

Grey-faced Petrel
The grey-faced petrel (''Pterodroma gouldi'') is a species of petrel endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. In New Zealand it is also known by its Māori name and (along with other species such as the sooty shearwater) as a muttonbird. Taxonomy This species was formerly treated as a subspecies of the great-winged petrel (''Pterodroma macroptera'') but has been recognized as a separate species since 2014.

Ōi Dam
The is a dam located between the cities of Ena and Nakatsugawa in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It was built to produce electricity for the surrounding area. The Agi River flows through the dam.

Combined, they produce 80,000 kW of power. History The upper portions of the Kiso River have a strong flow in terms of speed and volume, making it an ideal location for hydroelectric dams. Interest in hydroelectric dams in Japan grew greatly in 1911 when a hydroelectric law was passed. Given the technologies of the time, though, building a dam along the Kiso River was too difficult because floods often occurred. The introduction of hydroelectric po ...
