The Itoshiro River (石徹白川いとしろがわ, Itoshiro-gawa[1]) is a river through Gifu and Fukui prefectures in Japan.

Geography

[edit]

The Ishitoro River flows from Mount Chōshi (銚子ヶ峰ちょうしがみね Chōshi-ga-mine) on the borders of Gujō and Takayama in Gifu Prefecture and flows south before emptying into the Kuzuryū River near Ōno in Fukui Prefecture.

There are two majors dams along the river, both in Ōno: the Itoshiro Dam (石徹白いとしろダム Itoshiro Damu) and the Yanbara Dam (山原やまはらダム Yanbara Damu).
