Yasu River

The nihongo|Yasu River|野洲川|Yasu-gawa is located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan; it is the largest river to flow into Lake Biwa.

The Tōkaidō, one of the two Edo Five Routes which connected east and west Japan during the Edo period, paralleled the river. Post towns along the river included Tsuchiyama-juku, Minakuchi-juku and Ishibe-juku. The Yasu River also crossed the Nakasendō, the second route, separating Moriyama-juku and Musa-juku.
