The Oyabe River (小矢部川, Oyabe-gawa) is a Class A river in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The river rises from Mount Daimon on the border of Ishikawa Prefecture and enters the sea at Toyama Bay.[1]
The river runs through the city of Fukumitsu in Toyama, where two kilometres (1.2 mi) are lined with trees for cherry blossom-viewing.[2]
