Lake Fuchu Fuchu Dam's reservoir, Lake Fuchu, along with Taki no Miya, was some of the picturesque scenery chosen as one of the "Timeless 100 Famous Views." This reservoir was called "Lake Fuchu" starting in the 1990s, and maps from before showed the lake as Fuchu Reservoir. Lake Fuchu has canoe and rowboat competitions which are popular among high schools and employees of companies in the prefecture. It is being maintained as the East Shikoku Athletic Meet's venue for canoe competitions, a site of about 3 hectares with the Sakaide Canoe Training Center (boat-house and training room) and judge's chair and embark-disembark wharf for competitions. The course can be set at up to 9 lanes of 1000 meters, so it was designated by the JOC (Japan Olympic Committee) as a canoe race training facility, and players compete in Japanese championships and international athletes are sent to compete in international championship trials and such meetings there on a large scale. In August 2008, Finland's team used the same lake to practice before the Beijing Olympics.
