Geography[]

The river originates from Mt. Fujinashi (elevation 1,139m) in Shisō, Hyōgo, and flows southward. It runs through Tatsuno and divides Nakagawa to the west near Yobeku, Himeji, forming a delta.

On the embankment in Tatsuno City, there is an area where tatami mats are used to raise the revetment by using the tatami mats when the water level rises.

History[]

On September 13, 1976, a landslide occurred in Fukuchi, Ichinomiya-cho due to the torrential rain of Typhoon Fran. The spilled earth and sand filled the river channel and caused flooding.[2]
