The river is 142 kilometres (88 mi) long and has a watershed of 2,050 square kilometres (790 sq mi).
The Mabuchi River rises from the Sodeyama Plateau in the Kitakami Mountains of northeastern Iwate Prefecture and flows to the northeast between the Kitakami Mountains and the Ōu Mountains through eastern Aomori Prefecture into the Pacific Ocean at Hachinohe, Aomori. The river flows through scenic Basenkyō Gorge in Ninohe, Iwate, which is located within the Oritsume Basenkyō Prefectural Natural Park. The Port of Hachinohe is located at the mouth of the river. The city of Hachinohe utilises water from the Mabechi River for industrial purposes.
