Kinugawa River
The 883rd longest river in the world
Kinugawa River, Kinugawa, or Kinu River (Kinu-gawa), is a river on the main island of Honshu in Japan. It flows from the north to the south on the Kantō plain, merging with Tone River (Tone-gawa). At 176.7 km in length, it is the longest tributary of Tone-gawa. Before the river engineering projects in the Edo Period, when the Tone River was diverted into its course, the Kinu River flowed on its own into the Pacific Ocean. From ancient times, it has been known to cause floods. The river starts in Kinu swamp in the city of Nikkō, Tochigi, within Nikkō National Park.
