The Nishiki River has its source in the city of Shūnan. At its mouth in the part of the city of Iwakuni that was formerly the separate town of Nishiki, it drains into the Inland Sea.
The river is paralleled by the Nishikigawa Seiryū Line. It is known for having a station, Seiryu Miharashi Station, which exists only for viewing the river, with no external exits or entrances.
