Kamafusa Dam (釜房ダム, Kamafusa damu) is a multi-purpose concrete gravity dam in Kawasaki, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, completed in 1970.^[1]

The number of residents living in the target area was 181 households and 1,103 people, which was more than that of . As a result, residents strongly opposed the construction of the dam, and compensation negotiations with the Ministry of Construction were forced to take a long time. After repeated negotiations, it took three years since the implementation plan survey was started, the general compensation standard was concluded, and a signing was made with the representatives of the residents. Residents left their hometown after this, but of the 181 households, 25% relocated to their hometown of Kawasaki, 52% to Sendai, and 23% to other cities, towns and villages outside the prefecture or within the prefecture.
