River in Sakurai, Nara Prefecture.
Yamato River (Yamatogawa) is a Japanese class A river in the Kansai region and flows via the Nara Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture to the Osaka Bay.
The river flows via towns:
Since 1704 the river was reconfigured, originally its flow was north from the Ishikawa River confluence point, where it joined the Shirinashi River and Kizu River. [1]
At the river mouth is a densely populated area and Yamatogawa forms a natural border between Osaka and Sakai cities. [2]
