A river that flows through eastern Kanagawa Prefecture. Its total length is 43 km. It originates in the Tama Hills in the southern part of Tokyo and flows into Tokyo Bay in Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama City. The river's course is particularly twisted in the lower reaches, making it prone to flooding. Housing development is progressing rapidly in the hilly areas of the upper and middle reaches. The downstream delta and reclaimed land are heavy chemical industry areas, forming the core of the Keihin Industrial Zone.
