This river originates at Mt. Kabutomyojindake (1,005 meters) in the Kitakami Highlands in central Iwate Prefecture, flows east through the Kuzakai Plateau, and empties into Miyako Bay at Fujiwara in Miyako City. It is 75.7 kilometers long. It brings together tributaries such as the Oyama River, Natsuya River, Oguni River, Kariya River, and Nagasawa River, and created a wide alluvial plain downstream, which led to the development of Miyako City on the river mouth delta. The downstream is blessed with a variety of scenic oddly shaped rocks, and is home to many fish species. The JR Yamada Line and National Route 106 run parallel to it.
