The Fuefuki River has its source the neighboring mountains of Mount Kobushi on the southern slope of Mount Kobushi in the north of Yamanashi, on Honshu, in Japan.[1][2] Its course takes a southeast direction to the Hirose dam then south, in the east of Yamanashi. Leaving Yamanashi, it successively crosses the northwest of Fuefuki to which it gives its name,[3] south of Kōfu, central Chūō and the northwest of the town of Ichikawamisato. Near the boundary between Ichikawamisato and Fujikawa, the Fuefuki and Kamanashi rivers[1] converge and form the Fuji River.[4][5]
The watershed of the Fuefuki River covers an area of 1,040 km2 (400 sq mi) in the northwest of Yamanashi prefecture.[2]
