The Yukino River (KS: 雪乃川, Yukino-kawa) is a major river located in central Komashi. It is the largest and the longest river in the country, spanning through six Komashi realms. It starts in the Wakashi Springs high up in the Kaguya Mountain Range's section in Azura-Nishi, and going into a rapid fast current downward towards Hanabi. It then flows into a northeastern direction, serving as the territorial border of Asura, Hanabi, Maikaze, Towa, and Yukino. It continues to form the main border of Yukino and Maikaze before it turns northward into the Yukino River Conurbation, being the primary feature of the city, along with the Hanase Bypass Waterway and then finally flowing down into the Bay of Izanaya. The river is partially dammed through the Mukuro Barrier, at the confluence of the Hanase Bypass Waterway, as part of the Yukino River Counterflooding System.
The Yukino is a crucial waterway in Komashi history. Most domains in the feudal era were based around the banks of the river.
