The river's source is on Mount Nasugahara, which stands on the border of Mie and Shiga Prefectures. From the mountain, it then flows eastwards, eventually flowing into Ise Bay.

A section of the Tōkaidō, a major travel route in the Edo era, ran along the north side of the river for most of its course. The modern versions of this portion of the old Tokaido, the Kansai Main Line and Route 1, likewise run parallel with the river.
