Yasu River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yasu River (野洲川 Yasu-gawa?) is located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan; it is the largest river to flow into Lake Biwa.

The Tōkaidō, the chief road which connected east and west Japan during the Edo period, paralleled the river. Post towns along the river included Minakuchi (now Koka), Tsuchiyama (now Koka), and Ishibe (now Konan).
