The Yukino River (雪乃川, Yukino-kawa) is a major river located in central Komashi. It is the second-longest and largest river in the country, spanning through three Komashi regions. It starts in the Wakashi Springs high up in the Kaguya Mountain Range, and going into a rapid fast current downward towards Sangaku-fūkei. It then flows into a northeastern direction, shortly forming the border of Azanami and Sangaku-fūkei. It passes the Zhelenskey Hills before it turns northward into Yukino KDK, 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 by the Mukuro Barrier within the hills 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.
