The Yamato River (大和川, Yamato-gawa) is a river which flows through Nara Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It is designated Class A by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).
The river flows via towns:
- Nara Prefecture
- Osaka Prefecture
- Kashiwara
- Fujiidera - confluence with Ishikawa River
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 the river forms a natural border between Osaka and Sakai.[2]
