Sagae River

Japanese: 寒河江川 - さがえがわ
Sagae River
This river originates from Mount Asahi in the mid-west of Yamagata Prefecture, flows eastward, joining the Yotsuya River and other rivers originating from Mount Gassan, and flows into the Mogami River in Sagae City. It is 59 km long. It is the clearest river in the prefecture, and its downstream area is used for agricultural water. Large multipurpose dams such as the Sagae Dam have been constructed in the upstream area. The river basin is also home to Kaishu, Mazawa, Iwanesawa, and Hondoji, settlements that prospered due to ascetic practices at Mount Yudono.
