The Yasu River (野洲川, Yasu-gawa?) is located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan; it is the largest river to flow into Lake Biwa. It rises from Mount Gozaisho and flows through Kōka, Konan, Rittō, Moriyama and Yasu. It forked at the lower reaches and made a delta region, but they were combined in 1979.

Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”
