At the end of the sheltered path is a park where the aqueduct joins a network of gates, canals and cisterns. But before that, a large pair of pipes can be seen down the adjacent hill, easily identifiable as hydroelectric water supply channels.
They lead to a hydroelectric power station built in 1890, the Keage Power Station 蹴上発電所, which not only supplied power for the Keage Incline 蹴上インクライン (which was used to transport boats between two sections of the canal), but also for the first electric tram system in Japan.
If you look closely you can see the bright vermilion grand torii 大鳥居 of Heian Jingū 平安神宮 in the distance.
