The Kinokawa or redundantly Kinokawa River (紀ノ川 or 紀の川, Kinokawa) is a Class A river in Nara and Wakayama Prefecture in Japan. It is called Yoshino River (吉野川, Yoshinogawa) in Nara. It is 136 kilometres (85 mi) long and has a watershed of 1,660 square kilometres (640 mi2).[1]
The river flows from Mount Ōdaigahara to the west. It pours into Kii Channel at Wakayama city.
The boundary between Nara prefecture and Mie prefecture is designated as the site where the river originates. The rainy season helped to create an Alluvial plain. The course of the river often changes, with frequent floods.
